The Next Day, June 25, 1981

There is a blue cross now on the site of where the first apparitions occurred. In fact, there was a miracle there just recently. A little girl in a wheelchair was found embracing the cross standing alone and well.

The next day, continuing with Mirjana's account of June 25, 1981, she felt the same inner calling to go back to the spot where she and Ivanka had seen the Gospa. Four other children, two boys and two girls, had also seen her and had run away as well. However, the following day all felt the same inner call at the same time and returned to the site. This time they were accompanied by their family members who were concerned about what was happening to the children.

This time Mary did not have baby Jesus but she spoke to them. Only they could hear her; the family members could see the children were focused on someone or something and were having a conversation but could only see their lips move. She told them to not be afraid, that she was the Queen of Peace... and so began the continuous appearing of the Mother of Jesus to six children. Each child has been given or is in the process of receiving ten 'secrets' about what is going to happen in their area and in the world. All but two of the visionaries have received the ten secrets. They have been told that when all of them have received all ten secrets that the apparitions will cease every day and will occur only on special days, such as their birthdays. Some of these secrets are about chastisements that will come upon the world. Mary has told them that due to all the prayers that one of the secrets has been eliminated and will not happen. She also told them that God was going to leave a permanent sign on the hill after the apparitions stop on a daily basis and that these ten secrets will begin to occur. The children have been instructed to give the secret to their spiritual director who has already been chosen and is familiar with all that has happened. He will then announce it and it will occur in eight days following the announcement. (It sounds a little like what God had Moses tell Pharaoh with the ten plagues, to encourage Pharaoh to let God's people go...) God does not want anyone to be lost but all to come to salvation.

When she began appearing in 1981 Mary urged them to begin praying for peace, in their country and in the world. They did not understand as their country was at peace at that time but a civil war broke out in 1991, devastating the whole region. She encourages us to, "Pray, pray, pray." And tells us that through prayer even wars can be stopped.

Mirjana said that Our Lady does not talk about unbelievers but rather calls them, 'people who have not come to know the love of God yet.' She urges us to pray for them as they are the ones who cause many of the problems in the world, thus it will help the entire world as we all come to know the love of God.
