JAKOV's ANNUAL APPARITION on DECEMBER 25, 2000
At Her last daily apparition to Jakov Colo on September 12, 1998, Our Lady told him that, from now onwards, he would have only one yearly apparition
and that on Christmas day, December 25th. Thus it was also this year. The apparition began at 3:20 pm and lasted 10 minutes.
Our Lady came joyful with baby Jesus in her arms. She blessed everyone and gave a message:
"Dear children! Today when Jesus is born and by His birth brings
immeasurable joy, love and peace, I call you, in a special way to say your 'yes' to Jesus. Open your hearts so that Jesus enters into them, comes to
dwell in them and starts to work through you. Only in this way will you be able to comprehend the true beauty of God's love, joy and peace. Dear
children, rejoice in the birth of Jesus and pray for all those hearts that have not opened to Jesus so that Jesus may enter into each of their hearts
and may start working through them - so that every person would be an example of a true person through whom God works."
Message of December 25, 2000
"Dear children! Today when God granted to me that I can be with you, with
little Jesus in my arms, I rejoice with you and I give thanks to God for everything He has done in this Jubilee year. I thank God especially for all
the vocations of those who said 'yes' to God completely. I bless you all with my blessing and the blessing of the newborn Jesus. I pray for all of
you for joy to be born in your hearts so that in joy you too carry the joy I have today. In this Child I bring to you the Savior of the your hearts and
the One who calls you to the holiness of life. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Message of November 25, 2000
"Dear children! Today when Heaven is near to you in a special way, I
call you to prayer so that through prayer you place God in the first place.
Little children, today I am near you and I bless each of you with my motherly
blessing so that you have the strength and love for all the people you meet in
your earthly life and that you can give God's love. I rejoice with you and I
desire to tell you that your brother Slavko has been born into Heaven and
intercedes for you. Thank you for having responded to my call".
Message of October
25, 2000 "Dear children! Today I desire
to open my motherly heart to you and to call you all to pray for
my intentions. I desire to renew prayer with you and to call you
to fast which I desire to offer to my Son Jesus for the coming of
a new time - a time of spring. In this Jubilee year many hearts
have opened to me and the Church is being renewed in the Spirit.
I rejoice with you and I thank God for this gift; and you, little
children, I call to pray, pray, pray - until prayer becomes a joy
for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.
Message
of September 25, 2000 "Dear children! Today I call
you to open yourselves to prayer. May prayer become joy for you.
Renew prayer in your families and form prayer groups. In this way,
you will experience joy in prayer and togetherness. All those who
pray and are members of prayer groups are open to God's will in
their hearts and joyfully witness God's love. I am with you, I
carry all of you in my heart and I bless you with my motherly
blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Immaculate Heart I feel that there are many of those who have
drawn closer to me and are, in a special way, carrying the
victory of my Immaculate Heart in their hearts by praying and
converting. I desire to thank you and to inspire you to work even
more for God and His kingdom with love and the power of the Holy
Spirit. I am with you and I bless you with my motherly blessing.
Thank you for having responded to my call."

on earth on the way to eternity and that your home is in Heaven.
That is why, little children, be open to God’s love and
leave egoism and sin. May your joy be only in discovering God in
daily prayer. That is why, make good use of this time and pray,
pray, pray; and God is near to you in prayer and through prayer.Thank

Message of May
25, 2000 "Dear children! I rejoice with you and in this
time of grace I call you to spiritual renewal. Pray, little
children, that the Holy Spirit may come to dwell in you in
fullness, so that you may be able to witness in joy to all those
who are far from faith. Especially, little children, pray for the
gifts of the Holy Spirit so that in the spirit of love, every day
and in each situation, you may be closer to your fellow-man; and
that in wisdom and love you may overcome every difficulty. I am
with you and I intercede for each of you before Jesus. Thank you
for having responded to my call."
Message of April
25, 2000 "Dear children! Also today I call you to
conversion. You are concerned too much about material things and
little about spiritual ones. Open your hearts and start again to
work more on your personal conversion. Decide everyday to
dedicate time to God and to prayer until prayer becomes a joyful
meeting with God for you. Only in this way will your life have
meaning and with joy you will contemplate eternal life. Thank you
for having responded to my call."
Message of March 25, 2000 "Dear children! Pray and make good use of this time, because this is a time of grace. I am with you and I intercede for
each one of you before God, for your heart to open to God and to God's
love. Little children, pray without ceasing, until prayer becomes a joy for you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
ANNUAL APPARITON TO MIRJANA SOLDO ON
March 18, 2000 "Dear children! Do
not seek peace and happiness in vain, in the wrong places and in wrong things. Do not permit your hearts to become hard by loving vanity.
Invoke the name of my Son. Receive Him in your heart. Only in the name of my Son will you experience true happiness and true peace in your
heart. Only in this way will you come to know the love of God and spread it further. I am calling you to be my apostles."
The apparition started at 9:55 a. m. and lasted about 5 minutes. Our Lady prayed over everyone and blessed everyone. Mirjana especially
recommended the sick. This time Our Lady did not say anything about the secrets.
Message of February 25, 2000 "Dear children! Wake up from the sleep of unbelief
and sin, because this is a time of grace which God gives you. Use this time and seek the grace of healing of your heart from God, so that you
may see God and man with the heart. Pray in a special way for those who have not come to know God's love, and witness with your life so
that they also can come to know God and His immeasurable love. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Message of January 25, 2000 "Dear children! I call you, little children, to pray
without ceasing. If you pray, you are closer to God and He will lead you on the way of peace and salvation. That is why I call you today to
give peace to others. Only in God is there true peace. Open your hearts and become those who give a gift of peace and others will
discover peace in you and through you and in this way you will witness
God's peace and love which He gives you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
