Vicka: ... 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 pink. 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.

Today I finished moving of the site to a new address, that should be more easy to remember and matches better to the name of the site: www.ourlady.eu. Although the old address www.olm.name should work also, I recommend of using the new address, because www.olm.name will work only until May 2007. The site was unavailable during whole the yesterday due to this change but should be up and running from today without further problems.

"Rohkeutta, pienet lapset! Päätin johdattaa teitä pyhyyden tiellä. Luopukaa synnistä ja lähtekää pelastuksen tielle, jonka Poikani on valinnut.

Näkijä Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo sai päivittäin ilmestyksen 24.6.1981-25.12.1982 välisenä aikana. Viimeisen päivittäisen ilmestyksen aikana pyhä Maria antoi hänelle 10. salaisuuden ja kertoi, että hän ilmestyisi hänelle kerran vuodessa 18. päivä maaliskuuta. Näin on siitä asti vuosien aikana tapahtunut.
Tänä vuonna useat tuhannet pyhiinvaeltajat kokoontuivat rukoilemaan Ruusukkoa Cenacolon yhteisöön Medjugorjessa. Ilmestys kesti kello 13:59 kello 14:04 ja pyhä Maria antoi seuraavan viestin:
"Rakkaat lapset! Tänä paastoaikana kutsun teitä sisäiseen kieltäymykseen. Tie tähän vie teidät rakkauden, paastoamisen, rukouksen ja hyvin töiden kautta. Vain täysin sisäisesti kieltäytymällä huomaatte Jumalan rakkauden ja sen ajan merkit, jota elätte. Tulette olemaan todistajia näistä merkeistä ja alatte puhua niistä. Haluan tuoda teidät tähän. Kiitos siitä, että olette vastanneet minulle. "

"Rakkaat lapset! Tänä paaston armon aikana kutsun teitä avaamaan sydämenne niille lahjoille, jotka Jumala haluaa antaa teille. Älkää sulkeutuko, vaan sanokaa Jumalalle "kyllä" rukouksessa ja kieltäymyksessä, ja hän tulee antamaan teille yltäkylläisesti. Kuten keväällä maa avautuu siemelle ja tuottaa korkoa satakertaisesti, samoin taivaallinen Isännekin tulee antamaan teille yltäkylläisesti. Minä olen kanssanne ja rakastan teitä hellällä rakkaudella, pienet lapset. Kiitos siitä, että olette vastanneet kutsuuni. "

What touches young people most in Medjugorje? What attracts them?

Their longing for peace, their thirst for the truth. The world deceives us so often. The media emphasise mostly negative things. Young people are very much manipulated in the area of sexuality, and attacked in their souls. This can lead to severe consequences if their faith has not been strengthened beforehand. The message of Medjugorje awakens in them a longing for true peace, and probably for God and for the family... for intact families. Many people come from broken families nowadays. It is very rare that one finds a family, where the love of the neighbour is really lived, where there is prayer, where parents do not divorce after the first difficulty. But, in my opinion, what draws them mostly to Medjugorje is their longing for God, and the longing to find a meaning to their lives. Here you can meet Mary and Christ more intensely than at home. Another important factor is that young people meet other young people, whom they perceive to have found peace, and to have immersed more deeply in the spiritual life.

"Rakkaat lapset! Tänäänkin kutsun teidät kantamaan Evankeliumia perheissänne. Pienet lapset, älkää unohtako lukea pyhää kirjaa. Pankaa se näkyvälle paikalle ja todistakaa elämällänne, että uskotte ja elätte Jumalan Sanaa. Minä olen lähellä teitä rakkaudellani ja puhun puolestanne Pojalleni. Kiitos siitä, että olette vastanneet kutsuuni. "

Dragan Soldo: You went on pilgrimage to many other great Marian shrines. Can you say something about the specificity of Medjugorje?

Mons. José Domingo Ulloa: The specificity of Medjugorje is the gift of peace received here. This is what humanity is longing for today, and this gift is received in Medjugorje through our Mother Mary. It is not only about inner peace, but also about discovering that we are all brothers, and that conflicts and violence are not a solution. This peace should be shared with others.

Lidija Paris: You are born in Vukovar, and your father was born in Posusje. So many years after the war, it is noticeable that you still carry a deep inner pain remembering all that has happened. You came here with an envelope containing some photographs and some papers. This is all that remains of the first 40 years of your life…

Mirjana Kovač: I came to be in Medjugorje during these days that are still so painful for me. With faith in God, it is much easier for us to carry our cross. We unite our cross to the cross of Jesus, we offer everything to Him. Jesus allowed us this dignity. Thanks to my father and my mother who educated us in faith in God, and with the Rosary in the hand, during those days that are unimaginable for a human intelligence, we had the impression that we were somehow mysteriously supported. We were conscious that the worst could happen at any moment, but thanks to our faith in God, everything had another dimension. Death was closer to us then life…

Nowhere in the world has Our Lady ever spoken for such a long time and through so many messages to the people of this earth. This fact alone is so unique that it makes us wonder. The Messages have nothing spectacular nor sensational in them, as we journalists expect and as we are used to in news broadcasting. Many Messages are repetitions, deepening of the same content, offering help to make even the smallest step in faith; they are repeated invitations finally to do and to live what Our Lady already invited us to live. She motivates us again and again to turn to her to learn how to believe, to find Jesus, to find ourselves. All this is not particularly interesting for the demands of a journalist. No wonder, because the Messages are not passing news which seem a sensation today and become "cold coffee" tomorrow, according to the proverb: "There is nothing as old as yesterday's newspaper." The Messages are not like that. They are supports and helps to grow continually and in simplicity.

Thoughts to an Introduction

The request for us to read Holy Scripture can be found four times in the messages of Medjugorje. On October 18, 1984, a message said: "Today I call on you to read the Bible every day in your homes and let it be in a visible place so as always to encourage you to read it and to pray." A later message picks up on this one in a very specific manner: "Every family must pray family prayer and read the Bible!" (Message of February 14, 1985) Two further messages give reasons to why reading Sacred Scripture is so very important: "Pray and read the Sacred Scriptures so that through my coming you discover the message in the Sacred Scriptures for you.", and "Read Sacred Scripture, live it, and pray to understand the signs of the times." (June 25, 1991 and August 25, 1993)

An Inquiry into the Calling and Mission of the Church Today

If one inquires about particularly conspicuous signs of hope in today's Church, the new spiritual communities or movements are very often being mentioned. This is certainly justified since, as a whole, they represent an authentic Christian answer to the challenge of the cultural situation of the faith (cp. Medard Kehl SJ, "Communio" - a Paling Vision? In Voices of the Times, Journal no. 7/1997,453).

The Council documents have always stressed the community of the entire People of God in the mission and calling of the Church in the midst of the world. Also the bishops' synods of the last decades have acknowledged the community of the Church as a gift of the Spirit in the multitude of charisms and forms of life: The Calling and Mission of the Laity> (1987), Priestly Formation in Relation to the Present Times (1990) and The Consecrated Life (1994).
