Our Lady has regularly said the messages are for each one of us individually so try to read them as if your own name was there; "Dear .........." - it can makes the messages so much more personal.

Each message is a "pearl of Heaven". ~ Sister Claire Marie ~ Oasis of Peace May 2003

Annual Apparition to Jakov on December 25th 2003

At the last daily apparition to Jakov Colo on September 12th, 1998, Our Lady told him that henceforth he would have one apparition a year, every December 25th, on Christmas Day. This is also how it was this year. The apparition began at 3:15 pm and lasted 8 minutes. Our Lady gave the following message:

"Dear children! Today, when in a special way, Jesus desires to give you His peace, I call you to pray for peace in your hearts. Children, without peace in your hearts you cannot feel the love and joy of the birth of Jesus. Therefore, little children, today in a special way, open your hearts and begin to pray. Only through prayer and complete surrender, will your heart be filled with the love and peace of Jesus. I bless you with my motherly blessing."

Annual Apparition to Ivanka

Below is the official English translation of the annual apparition experienced by Ivanka each year on the anniversary of Our Lady's apparitions. At Her last daily apparition on May 7, 1985, Our Lady confided to Ivanka the 10th secret and told her that she would have an apparition once a year on the anniversary of the apparitions. It was that way also this year. The apparition lasted 10 minutes. Ivanka had the apparition at home in the presence of her family, her husband and her three children.

Our Lady gave the following message: "Dear children! Do not be afraid, I am always with you. Open your heart for love and peace to enter into it. Pray for peace, peace, peace."

Our Lady came joyful and spoke to Ivanka more extensively about Her life.

And a comment from another source: "The visionary Ivan has said that conversion is a life-long process.  The most important part, however, is making the commitment to convert in the first place and continuing to strive for spiritual perfection.  Here, Our Lady tells us that the Holy Spirit can help us pray from the heart."

"Message of April 25, 2003 “Dear children! I call you also today to open yourselves to prayer. In the foregone time of Lent you have realized how small you are and how small your faith is. Little children, decide also today for God, that in you and through you He may change the hearts of people, and also your hearts. Be joyful carriers of the risen Jesus in this peaceless world, which yearns for God and for everything that is from God. I am with you, little children, and I love you with a special love. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

My children, without God you can do nothing; do not forget this even for a single moment. For, what are you and what will you be on earth, when you will return to it again.
