Why do the Apparitions happen
in Medjugorje?
"I have come here because there
are many real believers"
Why does Our Lady appear for
such a long time?
"Conversion is a process that
lasts until the end of your earthly life."
"I would like to accompany you
during this process."
Why none of the visionaries have
chosen religious life? Why did all the visionaries get married?
"It is good to become a priest
or a nun, but only if you choose it. You are free! Only you can choose."
"I need holy families." "Let
family become a place where holiness is born."
Some are called to religious
life, others to have a family; but how can we know the will of God?
"It is in daily prayer that
you will start to listen to God who speaks to your heart. One must learn
to hear the voice of God in the heart. God always wants to speak to you,
prayer is a conversation with Him. He always desires to show you what He
wants from you and to let you know His will; for that, pray every day with
the heart. If you don't pray you will not be able to know your vocation."
Why Our Lady could not prevent
the war in the former Yugoslavia?
"One part of my plan has failed!"
"When a war happens it is because
war is already in the hearts. Then this war only comes outside. But if
you make peace in your hearts then also the war outside will stop."
"Many do not want to reconcile!"
"With your help only can I achieve
everything and prevent Satan to drag towards evil and remove him from here."
"Oh! How would it be easy for
me to stop the war, if more people would pray like you pray now."
How can we prevent wars to happen?
"Throuh prayer and fasting you
can transform the laws of nature and prevent wars to happen."
Are the Apparitions of Medjugorje
important?
"You are not conscious of the

This Parish, which I have chosen,
is special and is different from the others and I give here great graces
to all who pray with the heart."

the Mass. Therefore live Mass consciously.
Come to it full of joy and prepare
it seriously. Encourage the young to come to Mass."
"Be humble and full of respect
during Mass."
"Remember your dead, make them
happy by offering a Mass to them."
Should we read the Bible?
"Dear children, I invite you
to read the Bible every day with your family.
Put it in a visible place to
incite you to read it and to pray.
Don't look for farfetched ways.
Take the Gospel and read it, in it all is clear. Meditate daily at home
during at least half an hour."
"Dear children, you have forgotten
the Bible!"
What are the best prayers?

come from the heart."

of Jesus?

We in Heaven are in joy, but we seek the joy of your hearts."
Does Satan exist?
"Satan exists. He wants only
to destroy."
Does hell exist?
"Many go to hell."
"In purgatory there are many
levels. The lowest are near to hell, then higher levels are nearer and
nearer to Heaven."
"Pray every day for the souls
in purgatory. Each human being needs prayers and graces to come close to
God and reach His love."
How can God forgive our sins?

with the Lord."

sick to fast?
"Those who are not capable of
fasting can replace it by prayer, by acts of charity and by confession."
What happens when we die?
"You go to Heaven in full conscience,
the same conscience you have now.
At the time of death you are
conscious of the separation of soul and body."
What if we have commited grave
sins?
"The one that has commited a
lot of evil in his life can go straight to Heaven if he goes to confession
and regrets his acts and receives Holy Communion at the end of his life."
Is abortion a sin?
"Abortion is a great sin. You
should help women who have had an abortion; help them to comprehend it's
a sin, invite them to ask for forgiveness to God and to go to confession.
God is willing to forgive, for
His mercy is immense.
Dear children, I call you to
help and protect life!"
Is salvation easier for a Catholic?
"To those who have received
a lot (Catholics) a lot will be asked.
Only God in His infinite justice
can evaluate the degree of responsability of each person and pronounce
judgement."
What about other religions?
"All religions are good."
"Believers of all religions
are equal before God; God governs each religion like a Sovereign
in his Kingdom."
"All religions are not equal
because different peoples have not accepted in the same measure the commandments
of God."
"All religions are certainly
not all equal, on the other hand all men are equal in front of God like
teaches saint Paul. But it is not enough to be a member of the Catholic
Church to be saved, one should respect the Commandments of God and follow
his own conscience."
What about divisions between
religions?
"It is you on earth that are
divided, in Heaven we are all united!"
"Muslims and Orthodox are, like
Catholics, at equality in front of my Son and in front of me. You are all
my children!"
