Prayer of Consecration to the Heart of Jesus

Prayer of Consecration to the Heart of Jesus
(According to a dictation by Our Lady to Jelena Vasilj, at Medjugorje)

O Jesus, we know that You are merciful
and that You have given Your Heart for us.
It is crowned with thorns and with our sins.
We know that You implore us constantly
so we do not go astray.
Jesus, remember us when we sin.
Through Your Heart make us love one another.
Make hatred disappear from among men.
Show us Your Love. We all love You, and want You to protect us with Your Good Shepherd’s Heart, and that You deliver us from every sin. Enter into each heart Lord Jesus! Knock, knock at the door of our hearts; be patient and never desist.
We are still closed up within ourselves because we haven’t understood Your Love. Knock continuously! O Good Jesus, make us open our hearts up to You at least in the moment when we remember Your Passion suffered for us.
Amen

Message of September 25, 2005

“Dear children! In love I call you: convert, even though you are far from my heart. Do not forget, I am your mother and I feel pain for each one who is far from my heart; but I do not leave you alone. I believe you can leave the way of sin and decide for holiness. Thank you for having responded to my call."

May Lord protect you and keep you safe. I hope you will all be home soon.

Sun back again

We have sun! We have sun!
I am so happy that we have our sun back herein thee village. All is now better.
We can plan our visits tot he mountain Križevac and Apparition Hill. I know how it makes our pilgrims sad if they have to miss one of those due heavy rain. Even tough I must say that I have seen people climbing in all times and all weather condition. I remember one of my groups... It was November, and rain caught us when we were on the 12th station of the Way of the Cross. Now, that was something.
I was afraid my group would be angry with me but no, they were full of joy, and were thanking God for such a grace. As father said: Always is good to have more to our penance! :-)
In good laughs we went back to house, or should I say group went back to the house and their guide (me) went to the shop to by all new outfit. Yes, that is how I got wet.
Well, following November we had a group leader meeting and colleagues and I made sure to offer a prize gift of umbrella to the kind person who was assuring us that IT WILL NOT RAIN FOR SURE.

About Medjugorje events and news, I can tell you that visionary Ivan has left the village of Medjugorje and is not due back for some time now. All of you living in US check his speaking schedule so that you can meet him, hear him and possible attend the apparition
This means also that we do not have evening apparition at hill or blue cross for the time being.
But Our Lady stays with us all the time and still appears in Medjugorje every day.
Do not forget that there is a message on 25th !!!

Days without phone, without electricity but with lot of joy!

We had some problems in the village so I guess I better write this fast...

Light just came back. Some works had to be done so we had to suffer here in the village, and our pilgrims with us. Although most houses have generators and have done all possible to make them not notice the problem.
Phones were dead then back again.
This is all so normal for Medjugorje :-)

Also I have info for you that are coming to Medjugorje and planning on calling your family and friends. I am afraid that phone cards are nowhere to find in the region (not just Medjugorje) so I suggest you bring your e-mail addresses and passwords and have a fast course in webmail so you can go to internet service (we have one just near us at GLOBAL TRAVEL).

Also we had so many rain in the few past days that we came to conclusion that summer is over and out. Not much sun this year. For many of our pilgrims it must be a good summer season in Medjugorje since they could truly profit from the mild summer, we however , the locals, cannot get over this weather.

Our Lady apaered on Friday night but no messages this time.
She came with three angels and she prayed over all present.

I'll come back to you tomorrow with more words from Medjugorje, now I have to run.

God belss you all!
Emanuel

Vicka talks about afterlife

Father Livio is the director of RADIO MARIA

Father Livio: Tell me where you were and what was the time.

Vicka: We were in the small house of Jakov, when the Gospa has came. It was in the afternoon, at the 3,20 PM.
Father Livio: Didn't you wait for the apparition of the Gospa?

Vicka: No. Jakov and I were returned from Citluk and have gone to his home where there was his mother (Note: the mother of Jakov is dead now). In the house of Jakov there is a room and a kitchen. His mother had gone to take something to eat, because later we would have had to go to the church. While we were waiting, Jakov and I have started looking at an album of photos. Suddenly Jakov has gone down from the couch even before me and I have understood that the Gospa has arrived. She has immediately told us: "Vicka and you Jakov, comes with me to see the Heaven, the Purgatory and the hell". I have said to me: "It is all right, if she wants it". instead Jakov has told the Gospa: "You have to bring Vicka with you, because she has many brothers. Don't bring me that I am the unique child". He said this because he didn't want to go.

Father Livio: Evidently he thought that would not have returned anymore! (Note: the reluctance of Jakov has been providential, because the story makes even more believable and real).

Vicka: Yes, he thought that we would not have returned anymore and that we would have gone forever. I thought how much hours or how many days would have been necessary and I wondered me if we would have gone aloft or in low. But in an instant the Gospa has picked me up for the right hand and Jakov for the left hand and has opened the roof for letting us go.

Father Livio: Has she opened everything?

Vicka: No, she has not opened everything, but only that part that was necessary to pass. In few instants we have arrived in the Heaven. While we were climbing, we saw down in low the small houses, smaller than when they are seen in the airplane.

Father Livio: But did you look on the earth down, while you were being brought aloft?

Vicka: While we were being brought aloft, we looked down.

Father Livio: And what did you see?

Vicka: Everything very small, smaller than when we go in the airplane. Meanwhile I thought: "Who knows how much hours or how many days are necessary! ". Instead in a moment we have arrived. I have seen a great space....

Father Livio: I have read in some part, I don't know if it is true, that there was a door, with a rather elderly person nearby.

Vicka: Yes. There was a wood door.

Father Livio: Great or small?

Vicka: Great.

Father Livio: It is important. It means that so much people enter. Was The door open or close?

Vicka: It was closed, but the Gospa has opened it and we have entered in.

Father Livio: Ah, how has she opened it? Has the door opened alone?

Vicka: Alone. We have gone toward the door and it has opened alone.

Father Livio: The Gospa is the door of the sky!

Vicka: On the right of the door there was S. Peter.

Father Livio: How did you know that he was S.Peter?

Vicka: I have immediately understood that it was him. With a key, rather small, with the beard, a little sturdy, with the hair.

Father Livio: Was he standing or he was sit?

Vicka: Standing, standing, next to the door. Just entered, we have gone on, walking, perhaps three, four meters. We have not visited the whole Heaven, but the Gospa has made sense of it. We have seen a great space wound by a light that it doesn't exist here on the earth. We have seen the people that are neither fat, neither thin, but all equal ones and they have dresses of three colors: the grey , the yellow and the red. The people walk, sing, pray. There were some small flying Angels. The Gospa has told us: "Look at how much the people are happy in the Heaven". And a joy that cannot be described and that here on the earth it doesn't exist.

Father Livio: The Gospa has made you understand the essence of the Heaven that is the happiness that never ends. "In sky there is the joy", she has told in one message. You have seen the perfect people without any physical defect, to understand that, when there will be the resurrection of the bodies, we will have a body of glory as that of Jesus. I would like, however, to know that type of suit they wore. Are tunics?

Vicka: Yes, they are tunics.

Father Livio: Did they arrive until the feet or they are short?

Vicka: They were long and they arrived until the feets.

Father Livio: Of what color were the tunics?

Vicka: Grey, yellow and red.

Father Livio: According to you, do they have a meaning these colors?

Vicka: The Gospa has not made sense of it. When She wants, the Gospa explains everything, but at that time She has not explained us why they have the tunics of three different colors.

Father Livio: And the Angels?

Vicka: The angels are like small children.

Father Livio: Do they have the complete body or only the head as in the Baroque art?

Vicka: They have the whole body.

Father Livio: Do they wear the tunics?

Vicka: Yes, but these tunics are short.

Father Livio: Did you see their small legs?

Vicka: Yes, because they haven't long tunics.

Father Livio: Do they have some small wings?

Vicka: Yes, they have the wings and fly above the people that are in Heaven.

Father Livio: The Gospa has spoken about of the abortion. She said that it is a serious sin and will have to answer all the people that get it. The children don't have guilt of this instead are small Angels in sky. According to you, are the little angel of the Heaven the aborted children?

Vicka: The Gospa has not said that the small Angels in Sky are the children of the abortion. She said that the abortion is a great sin and that will answer all the people that have done it,and not the children.

Father Livio:Did you go in the Purgatory?

Vicka: Yes, after we have gone in the Purgatory.

Father Livio: Did you do so much road?

Vicka: No, the Purgatory is nearby.

Father Livio: Has the Madonna brought you?

Vicka: Yes, caring for hand.

Father Livio: Did you walk or fly?

Vicka: No, we have flied.

Father Livio: I have understood. The Gospa has transported you from the Heaven to the Purgatory, holding you for hand.

Vicka: Also the Purgatory is a great space. In Purgatory, however, the people are not seen, but only a great fog is seen and i feel ...
Father Livio: What do you feel?

Vicka: You feels that the people suffer. You hear some noises....

Father Livio: I have just sent my book to the presses: "Why I believe in Medjugorje", where I wrote that in the Purgatory you hear noises as of weepings, of cries, of hits... It's right? Also I found it hard to find the correct words in Italian language to give the sense of that in that you say Croatian to the pilgrims.

Vicka: Cannot be said that they feel him some hits and even that they feel him some weepings. There the people are not seen. It is not as the Heaven.

Father Livio: What does it feel ?

Vicka: You feels that they suffer. It is a suffering of different kind. They hears the voices and also of the noises as one whom it is beaten...

Father Livio: Does they beat between them?

Vicka: You feels so, but I have not been able to see. Father Livio ,is difficult to explain a thing that you don't see. Is different to feel and to see. In Heaven you see that they walk, they sing, they pray, and therefore you can report exactly it. In Purgatory a great fog is seen only. The people that are found there they wait for our prayers to be able to go as soon as possible to Heaven.

Father Livio: Do they attend our prayers?

Vicka: The Gospa has said that the people that are found in Purgatory wait for our prayers to be able to go as soon as possible to Heaven.

Father Livio: Listen me, Vicka: the light of the Heaven we could interpret it as the divine presence in which the people are absorbed where they are found in that place of beatitude. The fog of the Purgatory, instead, what is it to point out according to you?

Vicka: For me, the fog is surely a sign of hope. They is suffering, but they has the certain hope that you will go to Heaven.

Father Livio: The Gospa insists on our prayers for the souls of the Purgatory.

Vicka: Yes, the Gospa says that they need our prayers to go in the Heaven.

Father Livio: Then our prayers can shorten the Purgatory.

Vicka: If we pray more, they go fast in Heaven.

Father Livio: Now speak to us about the hell.

Vicka: Yes. Before we have seen a great fire.

Father Livio: Get away a curiosity: did you feel warm?

Vicka: Yes. We were enough near and in front of us there was the fire.

Father Livio: I understand. On the other hand Jesus speaks about of the "eternal fire."

Vicka: You know, we have been there with the Gospa. For us it has been a different way. Do you understand?

Father Livio: Yes, certain! You were only spectators and not actors of that awful play.

Vicka: We have seen the people that before entering the fire...

Father Livio: Excuse me: but was the fire great or small?

Vicka: It was a great fire. We have seen the people that were normal before entering the fire; then, when they fall in the fire, they are changed in horrible animals. I heard so many swearwords and the people that howl and shout.

Father Livio: This transformation of the people in horrible animals is the state of perversion of the damned that they burn in the flames of the hate against God. I have a curiosity: do these people that turned into monstrous beasts had the horns?

Vicka: The horns?

Father Livio: The horns that have the devils.

Vicka: Yes. It is as when you see a person, for example a blonde girl, that is normal before entering the fire. But when it goes down to the fire and then she returns on, it changes her in a beast, as if she had never been a person.

Father Livio: Marija has told us , in an interview , that when the Gospa has made you see the hell during the apparition without however to bring you in the afterlife, this blonde girl, when she has gone out of the fire, she also had the horns and the tail. It's right?

Vicka: Yes, certain.

Father Livio: The fact that the people turned into beasts also have the horns and the tail for me means that they have become in demons.

Vicka: Yes, it is really a way of similar to demons. It is a transformation that quickly happens. Before falling down in the fire, they are normal and when they return on they are transformed.

The Gospa has told us: "These people that you have found here in the hell have gone here with their own wish, because they have wanted to come here. The people that on the earth go against God they already begin to live only a Hell and then they continue it."

Father Livio: Has the Gospa told it?

Vicka: Yes.

Father Livio: Has The Gospa said therefore, if not really with these words, however doing express this concept, that go to the hell who takes to go it persisting to go against God up to the end?

Vicka: Goes there who is against the wish of God. Who wants, it goes. God doesn't send anybody there. We have the possibility to save us.

Father Livio: Doesn't God send anybody to the hell: the Gospa has told him, or you tell it?

Vicka: God doesn't send anybody. The Gospa has said that God doesn't send anybody. We want to go there for our choice.


Father Livio: I have felt to say or I have read from some part that the Gospa has said that we don't to pray for the souls of the hell.

Vicka: For those of the hell, no. The Gospa has said that she is not begged for those the hell, but only for souls in the Purgatory.

Father Livio: On the other hand the damned of the hell they don't want our prayers.

Vicka: They don't want then and they aren't necessary.

From Poland to Medjugorje ON FOOT!

Our friends Ante and Katerina at Villa BENEDICT had a pleasure to give accommodation and food to one most interesting person and amazing pilgrim from Poland.


Krzysztof Guca, 31, from Torun (Poland) arrived to Medjugorje after 57 days of WALKING. He believes that Our Lady is appearing here and thinks that Medjugorje is the continuation of Fatima. His pilgrimage is a vow he had made.
While walking, he was praying for his friends, for the Church, priests, families and his country. He offered his effort for these intentions. Before starting his pilgrimage, he asked for a blessing of his bishop. A written blessing given by his bishop was opening the doors in many parishes in the countries he was traversing. He also kept a diary, signed by those who received him on his journey. He made more than 1720 km.
His pilgrimage reminds him of a bridge over an abyss: step by step day after day.

He thought of staying for 4 days but at the end it was 14.
We thank Ante and Kata for their generous hospitality .

PS.
Krzysztof Guca also made a pilgrimage on foot to Fatima: he made 4000 km in 4 months.

Apparition to Ivan on Friday , September 9th

This evening Our Lady came special happy.
She came with three angels and gave us this message:

Dear children, also today I invite you to pray.
Dear children, I invite you to sanctity of family,
pray in the family,
open yourself to the grace of Holy Spirit.
I intercede before my Son for each one of you.
Dear children, pray, pray!
Thank you for having responded to my call.

A lot of rain these days in Medjugorje but lot of grace and lot of joy also.

Yesterday we spent mostly on the Apparition hill. We prayed rosary together with so many Croatian who came to celebrate the feast of the exaltation of the holy cross, which is celebrated here in Medjugorje with the mass on top of Krizevac, first Sunday after birthday of Our Lady.
Even we had rain and truly got wet, nobody thought about leaving the Hill before prayers were finished. I always admire the zeal and faith of Medjugorje pilgrims. They truly give all and I am sure Our Lady gives a great graces in return.

This morning all went up the mountain. Mass was celebrated at 11 but many wanted to pray the way of the cross and find a good place in the shade and close to the Cross /those are not many to find up there/. I do not know how many people actually was there, I guess you will have to wait until we get official information from our parish office. But I can say that there were several thousands of pilgrims.

Also a mess was celebrated here at the church of St. James at 12, for those who are elderly and disabled, thus not being able to climb the mountain.

Homily in on the mount was given by father Branimir, which most of the English speaking pilgrims still remember from his Medjugorje days..
Homily in the church was given by father Tomislav, who actually did it in 4 different languages /with the little help of Lydia).

All in all , another special weekend in Mejdugorje, this wonderful Oasis of Peace.
I can not express all in this few lines, real joy is in my heart and cannot be put in words. All I hope is that you will be coming here very soon and became a part of these wonderful events.

May God bless you all!
Emanuel

Day of three apparitions and 2 messages

Yesterday was really intense day for the pilgrims in Medjugorje.
Day started very early since Our Lady called us to come and join Mirijana, the visionary , for her monthly prayer for the people who have not yet met the love of Christ. Mirjana has said that Our Lady will appear to her in Cenacolo (the usual place, most would say) at 9 o'clock. People went in many numbers, early to get the seat and to start with preparation for this meeting.
Our Lady gave a message to the pilgrims gathered there it is this:

Message to visionary Mirijana, September 2, 2005
"Dear children,
I am coming to you as your Mother,
and I show to you how much God loves you, your Father.
But you, my children, where are you?
What is on the first place in your heart?
What prevents you to put my Son into the first place?
Permit, my children, that the blessings of God come down upon you!
My the God's peace penetrate you, the peace that gives my Son, only Him."


On the same day Our Lady appeared for the second time to Ivan and Vicka here in the village, at their own home at the usual time of 6h40 pm, then it was announced that we will have another prayer meeting and apparition of Our Lady. This time it was on Podbrdo, and it was with the visionary Ivan and his prayer group.
These nights are for me really special and I truly find it much rewarding to go on the hill or at the blue cross. Just being there would make a man feel special. Prayer and singing are beautiful, then the time we spent with Our Lady and praying Our Father with her is an amazing experience.
Our Lady had a message for us again that day, and here it is:

Message to the visionary Ivan Septemeber 2, 2005.
Dear children,
tonight again I am calling you to pray for my plans (intentions).
Pray, dear children, pray, pray.
I wish, dear children, realize my plans together with you.
I need your prayers.
Thank you for having responded to my call.

Well, She is always thanking. Blessed are those who are at least trying to follow her messages.

God bless you all!
Emanuel!

Central European Summer Time

Hurricane Katarina

We hear about the bad news coming from US, from New Orleans specially.
It is actually for days that we have been having it on news, how KAtarina is approaching and will make serious damage to the town and the area. I always thought nothing serious would happen, it is America after all, and you can evacuate.
But obviously I was wrong. SO many people stayed in that region and most probably many of them are now dead.
There is no way we can contact any of our friends. Only this morning we got some news about some of the families we know, and they are, Thanks be to God all OK. But there is many in the region that are our dear friends and pilgrims and we have no news, and we cannot know what happened to them. We can only pray that all will be well. We pray that you are all alive and safe, somewhere in a nice family home with some good and nice people taking care of you.


We are thinking of you and we are praying for you.

God bless
Emanuel
