In Mirjana’s book titled, “My Heart Will Triumph”, she writes: “Now is the time to tell the world my story.”
“Now is the time to tell the world my story”? Wow! These are very powerful words and precise words, particularly when you consider she has said in the past that she knows when the secrets are supposed to begin to unfold.
She also talks about the importance of the day “March 18” in her book. She says “Only when the things contained in the secrets start to happen will the world understand why Our Lady chose March 18. The significance of the date will be clear.”
What are we to make of March 18th? Last year there was a great deal of attention to Mirjana’s apparition on March 18 because it took place during the 1OO year anniversary of the Fatima apparitions. There was speculation that something big, like a major political crisis would take place.
So here we are a year later and March 18 is again looming large as a special date. Will this be the year where we begin to understand why March 18 is so significant?
During a Q & A session between Mirjana and a group of English-speaking pilgrims in Medjugorje, and in response to a comment by one of the pilgrims about sharing the same birthday as Mirjana, the visionary responded:
“Great people were born on the 18th of March. But I never have my birthday because that is the day of the apparition. And many people have the wrong opinion about it. They feel that Our Lady comes to me on the 18th of March because it is my birthday. She doesn’t come for sure for that reason because she never said to me Happy Birthday. When everything starts happening, then you will be able to understand why the 18th of March, why every second of the month, why Wednesdays and Fridays are days of fasting, everything will be clear.”
In her new book Mirjana had a few other things to say about the Medjugorje secrets:
Mirjana: “The seventh Secret Troubled Me Greatly”
Mirjana then asked “Is it possible for the secrets to be lessened?
Our Lady: “Pray”
Mirjana: “I can not divulge much about the secrets but I can say this…Our Lady is planning on changing the world. She did not come to announce our destruction; she came to save us and with her Son she will triumph over evil.
If Our Mother has promised to defeat evil, then what do we have to fear? Mirjana
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favor to ask. More people are reading Mystic Post than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Mystic Post’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.
High quality journalism is essential intellectual nourishment. The generosity of providing such a service without a paywall deserves recognition and supportGiacomo P, Italy
I’ve been enjoying Mystic Posts for several years now. Today, when so much seems to be going wrong in the world, Mystic Post is working hard to provide truthful Catholic news. I want to support that Robb R. UK
I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information. Annonymous Donator
The (as yet unapproved) apparitions of Our Blessed Lady at Garabandal are of special significance with regard to the conversion of the Jewish people. In her apparitions at Garabandal She was identifiably a Jewess, and in response to the question; “Are you Jewish”, she replied; “Yes, and even in Heaven I belong to the Jewish people.” There is a suggestion that the promised ‘permanent sign’ that will be manifested at the site of the apparitions could be the Shemitah Glory, the ‘column of smoke by day and fire by night by which God manifested His presence among the Jewish people during their many years of wandering in the desert. And the fact that many of the most significant events at Garabandal occurred on the eighteenth day of the month also relates the the Eighteen Benedictions; the daily prayer of the Jewish people in which, among other things, they petition God for the coming of the promised Messiah, and prayers of thanksgiving that their prayers have been answered.
It is also interesting that when Our Lady appeared in 1917 and warned about the impending spread of atheistic communism, She chose to appear in a place with a name that is of particular significance to the Muslims – Fatima. And at Fatima, She appeared as the “New Queen Esther” signalling to the Jews that the lime of their liberation is approaching.
Our Blessed Lady began her apparitions in 1981 in what was then communist Yugoslavia, but specifically that part of the Yugoslav Federation Bosnia Herzogovina. According to Bosnian Cardinal Vinko Puljic, approximately 10,000 Bosnian Croat Catholics are fleeing Bosnia annually to escape severe government discrimination. But what is the composition of that government. Bosnia is approximately 15% Catholic, and – 51% muslim. Our Blessed Lady has promised that what She began in Fatima, She will complete in Medjugorje. So, in 1917, She appears in a place which, by reason of its name, has an Islamic connection, to warn about the errors of Russia; i.e. marxism spreading throughout the world, and there is also a strong Jewish connection. Commencing in 1981, She appears in a place that was then under communist domination, and the Ctholic population suffered enormously, but which is now an independent state under essentially Muslim domination and …… the Catholic population is suffering severe discrimination from the authorities.
Just to finish off the above, what I am trying to suggest, in maybe a somewhat convoluted fashion, is that there is a continuity in Fatima and Medjugorje as it relates to “the errors of Russia”, Judaism and Islam. In “completing at Medjugorje what She commenced at Fatima”, will “the new Queen Esther” who appeals to her Divine Son, the King of Justice and of Mercy, obtain the liberation of her own Jewish people and the revelation of their true and long-awaited Messiah. And will She, once and for all, purge the world of the errors of marxism and Islam?
