Medjugorje Story
The Medjugorje Centre ( North East ) recognises and accepts that the final authority regarding the apparitions at Medjugorje rest with the Holy See of Rome. We willingly submit to that judgement..
On June 24, 1981, six children in the town of Medjugorje, Yugoslavia ( today, Bosnia-Herzegovina ), began to experience apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary. She spoke to them giving a message of peace for the world, as well as a call to conversion, prayer and fasting. The children (known as visionaries), Ivanka Ivankovic, Mirjana Dragicevic, Vicka Ivankovic, Marija Pavlovic, Ivan Dragicevic and Jakov Colo described Our Lady as ‘beautiful beyond any human description’. These first apparitions took place on a hill behind the village called Podbrdo (Apparition Hill) and on the day of the Feast of St. John the Baptist.
Our Lady has entrusted to the visionaries secret messages about future events that will occur in the world. The ‘secrets’, confided individually to different visionaries, have not been revealed to the public and are not generally spoken about, however there will be a permanent sign given which will be left at the site of the first apparition for the whole world to see. Three of the visionaries Jakov, Mirjana and Ivanka have received all ten secrets, while Marija, Ivan and Vicka have each received nine. Our Lady, who calls herself the ‘Queen of Peace’ appears to these three visionaries daily at 6:40pm wherever they happen to be at the time. On the 25th of every month Our Lady gives a message intended for the whole world. This message is given to Marija. The other three visionaries Jakov, Mirjana and Ivanka only see Our Lady once a year now. Their daily apparitions ceased once she had confided all ten secrets to them. Jakov sees Our Lady on Christmas Day, Ivanka on June 25th, the anniversary of the apparitions. This date was chosen as the anniversary date of the apparitions since it was the first day Our Lady spoke to the children. Mirjana sees Our Lady on her birthday, March 18th. Our Lady has also been appearing to Mirjana on the 2nd of each month since August 2, 1987. Sometimes these appearances are apparitions, and sometimes locutions.
The news that Our Lady might be appearing immediately began to attract pilgrims to Medjugorje, first from the surrounding countryside, and then, despite the communist government of that day, from Europe and the whole world. Since the apparitions began in 1981, millions of people of all faiths, from all over the world, including clergy and theologians have visited Medjugorje and have left spiritually strengthened and renewed.
The appearances of ‘Our Lady Queen of Peace’ have been accompanied by many miracles in the form of healings (of mind, body and soul), supernatural visual events, and deep conversions back to God.
Our Lady’s messages tell each one of us God wants to renew our hearts with his Spirit of Love to change the world, one heart at a time. Our Lady loves and knows each one of us for she is our mother in heaven. She carries each of us in her heart and says, “If you knew how much I loved you, you would cry for joy”. Her appearances and messages give us all great hope in this time of Grace.
