A
new development
took place in
Medjugorje at
the beginning of
1984. Our Lady
told Jelena
Vasilj that she
wanted the
parishioners of
St. James Church
to come together
at the church
for one evening
a week so that
She could direct
them in their
spiritual life.
The priests
chose Thursday.
From March 1,
1984 through
January 8, 1987,
Our Lady gave
messages to the
parish every
Thursday. The
messages come to
the parish
through the six
seers and almost
entirely through
Marija Pavlovic.
On January 8,
1987, Our Lady
said that She
would give
messages
monthly, on the
25th of each
month.
March
1, 1984
"Dear
children! I have
chosen this
parish in a
special way and
I wish to lead
it. I am
guarding it in
love and I want
everyone to be
mine. Thank you
for having
responded
tonight. I wish
you always to be
with me and my
Son in ever
greater numbers.
I shall speak a
message to you
every
Thursday."
March
8, 1984
"Thank you
for having
responded to my
call! Dear
children, you in
the parish, be
converted. This
is my other
wish. That way
all those who
shall come here
shall be able to
convert."
March
15,1984
"Tonight
also, dear
children, I am
grateful to you
in a special way
for being here.
Unceasingly
adore the Most
Blessed
Sacrament of the
Altar. I am
always present
when the
faithful are
adoring. Special
graces are then
being
received."
March
22, 1984
"Dear
children! In a
special way this
evening I am
calling you
during Lent to
honor the wounds
of my Son, which
He received from
the sins of this
parish. Unite
yourselves with
my prayers for
the parish so
that His
sufferings may
be bearable.
Thank you for
having responded
to my call. Try
to come in ever
greater
numbers."
March
29, 1984
"Dear
children! In a
special way this
evening I am
calling you to
perseverance in
trials. Consider
how the Almighty
is still
suffering today
on account of
your sins. So
when sufferings
come, offer them
up as a
sacrifice to
God. Thank you
for having
responded to my
call."
April
5, 1984
"Dear
children! This
evening I pray
you especially
to venerate the
Heart of my Son,
Jesus. Make
reparation for
the wound
inflicted on the
Heart of my Son.
That Heart is
offended by all
kinds of sins.
Thank you for
coming this
evening."
April
12, 1984
"Dear
children! Today
I beseech you to
stop slandering
and to pray for
the unity of the
parish, because
I and my Son
have a special
plan for this
parish. Thank
you for having
responded to my
call."
April
19, 1984 (Holy
Thursday)
"Dear
children!
Sympathize with
me! Pray, pray,
pray!"
April
30, 1984
(Monday)
Marija asked Our
Lady, "Dear
Madonna, why
didn't you give
me a message for
the parish on
Thursday?"
Our Lady
replied,
"I
do not wish to
force anyone to
do that which
he/she neither
feels nor
desires, even
though I had
special messages
for the parish
by which I
wanted to awaken
the faith of
every believer.
But only a
really small
number has
accepted my
Thursday
messages. In the
beginning there
were quite a
few. But its
become a routine
affair for them.
And now recently
some are asking
for the message
out of
curiosity, and
not out of faith
and devotion to
my Son and
me."
May
10, 1984
Many of the
faithful felt
shaken by the
last message of
Our Lady. Some
had the feeling
that Our Lady
would not give
any more
messages to the
parish, but this
evening she
said, "I am
speaking to you
and I wish to
speak further.
You just listen
to my
instructions!"
May
17, 1984
"Dear
children! Today
I am very happy
because there
are many who
want to
consecrate
themselves to
me. Thank you.
You have not
made a mistake.
My Son, Jesus
Christ, wishes
to bestow on you
special graces
through me. My
Son is happy
because of your
dedication.
Thank you for
having responded
to my
call."
May
24, 1984
"Dear
children! I have
told you already
that I have
chosen you in a
special way,
just the way you
are. I, the
Mother, love you
all. And in any
moment that is
difficult for
you, do not be
afraid! Because
I love you even
then when you
are far from me
and my Son.
Please, do not
let my heart
weep with tears
of blood because
of the souls who
are lost in sin.
Therefore, dear
children, pray,
pray, pray!
Thank you for
having responded
to my
call."
May
31, 1984
(Ascension
Thursday)
There were many
people present
from abroad. Our
Lady did not
give a message
for the parish.
She told Marija
that she would
give a message
on Saturday to
be announced at
the Sunday
parish Mass.
June
2, 1984
(Saturday)
"Dear
children!
Tonight I wish
to tell you
during the days
of this novena
to pray for the
outpouring of
the Holy Spirit
on your families
and on your
parish. Pray,
and you shall
not regret it.
God will give
you gifts by
which you will
glorify Him till
the end of your
life on this
earth. Thank you
for having
responded to my
call."
June
9, 1984
(Saturday)
"Dear
children!
Tomorrow night
pray for the
Spirit of Truth!
Especially, you
from the parish.
Because you need
the Spirit of
Truth to be able
to convey the
messages just
the way they
are, neither
adding anything
to them, nor
taking anything
whatsoever way
from them, but
just the way I
said them. Pray
for the Holy
Spirit to
inspire you with
the spirit of
prayer, so you
will pray more.
I, your Mother,
tell you that
you are praying
little. Thank
you for having
responded to my
call."
June
21, 1984
"Pray,
pray, pray!
Thank you for
having responded
to my
call."
June

No message was
given by Our
Lady
July
12, 1984
"Dear
children! These
days Satan wants
to frustrate my
plans. Pray that
his plan not be
realized. I will
pray my Son
Jesus to give
you the grace to
experience the
victory of Jesus
in the
temptations of
Satan. Thank you
for having
responded to my
call."
July
19, 1984
"Dear
children! These
days you have
been
experiencing how
Satan is
working. I am
always with you,
and don't you be
afraid of
temptations
because God is
always watching
over us. Also I
have given
myself to you
and I sympathize
with you even in
the smallest
temptation.
Thank you for
having responded
to my
call."
July
26, 1984
"Dear
children! Today
also I wish to
call you to
persistent
prayer and
penance.
Especially, let
the young people
of this parish
be more active
in their
prayers. Thank
you for having
responded to my
call."
August
2, 1984
"Dear
children! Today
I am joyful and
I thank you for
your prayers.
Pray still more
these days for
the conversion
of sinners.
Thank you for
having responded
to my
call."
August

No message was
given by Our
Lady
August
11, 1984
(Saturday)
"Dear
children! Pray,
because Satan
wishes to
complicate my
plans still
further. Pray
with the heart
and surrender
yourselves to
Jesus in
prayer."
August
14, 1984
(Tuesday)
This apparition
was unexpected.
Ivan was praying
at home. After
that he started
to get ready to
go to Church for
the evening
services. By
surprise Our
Lady appeared to
him and told him
to relate to the
people. "I
would like the
people to pray
along with me
these days. And
to pray as much
as possible! And
to fast strictly
on Wednesdays
and Fridays, and
every day to
pray at least
one Rosary: the
joyful,
sorrowful and
glorious
mysteries."
Our Lady asked
that we accept
this message
with a firm
will. She
especially
requested this
of the
parishioners and
the faithful of
the surrounding
places.
August
16, 1984
"Dear
children! I
beseech you,
especially those
from this
parish, to live
my messages and
convey them to
others, to
whomever you
meet. Thank you
for having
responded to my
call."
August
23, 1984
"Dear
children! Pray,
pray!"
Marija said that
he also invited
the people, and
especially the
young people, to
keep order
during the Mass.
August
30, 1984
"Dear
children! The
cross was also
in God's plan
when you built
it. These days,
especially, go
on the mountain
and pray before
the cross. I
need your
prayers. Thank
you for having
responded to my
call."
September
6, 1984
"Dear
children!
Without prayer
there is no
peace. Therefore
I say to you,
dear children,
pray at the foot
of the cross for
peace. Thank you
for having
responded to my
call."
September
13, 1984
"Dear
children! I
still need your
prayers. You
wonder why all
these prayers?
Look around you,
dear children,
and you will see
how greatly sin
has dominated
the world. Pray,
therefore, that
Jesus conquers.
Thank you for
having responded
to my
call."
September
20, 1984
"Dear
children! Today
I call on you to
begin fasting
with the heart.
There are many
people who are
fasting, but
only because
everyone else is
fasting. It has
become a custom
which no one
wants to stop. I
ask the parish
to fast out of
gratitude
because God has
allowed me to
stay this long
in this parish.
Dear children,
fast and pray
with the heart.
Thank you for
having responded
to my
call."
September
27, 1984
"Dear
children! You
have helped me
along by your
prayers to
realize my
plans. Keep on
praying that my
plans completely
I request the
families of the
parish to pray
the family
rosary. Thank
you for having
responded to my
call."
October
4, 1984
"Dear
children! Today
I want to tell
you that again
and again you
make me happy by
your prayer, but
there are enough
of those in this
very parish who
do not pray and
my heart is
saddened.
Therefore pray
that I can bring
all your
sacrifices and
prayers to the
Lord. Thank you
for having
responded to my
call."
October
8, 1984 (Monday)
(Jakov was sick
and received
this message at
home.)
"Dear
children, Let
all the prayers
you say in your
homes in the
evening be for
the conversion
of sinners
because the
world is in
great sin. Every
evening pray the
rosary."
October
11, 1984
"Dear
children! Thank
you for
dedicating all
your hard work
to God even now
when He is
testing you
through the
grapes you are
picking. Be
assured, dear
children, that
He loves you
and, therefore,
He tests you.
You just always
offer up all
your burdens to
God and do not
be anxious.
Thank you for
having responded
to my
call."

children! Today
I call on you to
read the Bible
every day in

as always to
encourage you to
read it and to
pray. Thank you
for having
responded to my
call."
October
25, 1984
"Dear
children! Pray
during this
month. God
allows me every
day to help you
with graces to
defend
yourselves
against evil.
This is my
month. I want to
give it to you.
You just pray
and God will
give you the
graces you are
seeking. I will
help along with
it. Thank you
for having
responded to my
call."
November
1, 1984
"Dear
children! Today
I call you to
the renewal of
prayer in your
homes. The work
in the fields is
over. Now devote
yourselves to
prayer. Let
prayer take the
first place in
your families.
Thank you for
having responded
to my
call."
November
8, 1984
"Dear
children! You
are not
conscious of the
messages which
God is sending
you through me.
He is giving you
great graces and
you do not
comprehend them.
Pray to the Holy
Spirit for
enlightenment.
If you only knew
how great are
the graces God
is granting you,
you would be
praying without
ceasing. Thank
you for having
responded to my
call."
November
15, 1984
"Dear
children! You
are a chosen
people and God
has given you
great graces.
You are not
conscious of
every message
which I am
giving you. Now
I just want to
say - pray,
pray, pray! I
don't know what
else to tell you
because I love
you and I want
you to
comprehend my
love and God's
love through
prayer. Thank
you for having
responded to my
call."
November

children! These
days live all
the main
messages and
keep rooting
them in your
hearts till
Thursday. Thank
you for having
responded to my
call."
November
29, 1984
"Dear
children! No,
you don't know
how to love and
you don't know
how to listen
with love to the
words I am
saying to you.
Be conscious, my
beloved, that I
am your Mother
and I have come
on earth to
teach you to
listen out of
love, to pray
out of love and
not compelled by
the fact that
you are carrying
a cross. By
means of the
cross God is
glorified
through every
person. Thank
you for having
responded to my
call."
December
6, 1984
"Dear
children! These
days I am
calling you to
family prayer.
In God's Name
many times I
have been giving
you messages,
but you have not
listened to me.
This Christmas
will be
unforgettable
for you only if
you accept the
messages which I
am giving you.
Dear children,
don't allow that
day of joy to
become my most
sorrowful day.
Thank you for
having responded
to my
call."
December
13, 1984
"Dear
children! You
know that the
season of joy is
getting closer,
but without love
you will achieve
nothing. So
first of all,
begin to love
your own family,
everyone in the
parish, and then
you'll be able
to love and
accept all who
are coming over
here. Now let
these seven days
be a week when
you need to
learn to love.
Thank you for
having responded
to my
call."
December
20, 1984
"Dear
children! Today
I am inviting
you to do
something
concrete for
Jesus Christ. As
a sign of
dedication to
Jesus I want
each family of
the parish to
bring a single
flower before
that happy day.
I want every
member of the
family to have a
single flower by
the crib so
Jesus can come
and see your
dedication to
Him! Thank you
for having
responded to my
call."
December
21, 1984
(Friday)
"I want you
to be a flower
which will
blossom for
Jesus on
Christmas. And a
flower that will
not stop
blooming when
Christmas is
over. I want
your hearts to
be shepherds to
Jesus."
(Message given
through Jelena
Vasilj.)
December
27, 1984
"Dear
children! This
Christmas Satan
wanted in a
special way to
spoil God's
plans. You, dear
children, have
discerned Satan
even on
Christmas day
itself. But God
is winning in
all your hearts.
So let your
hearts keep on
being happy.
Thank you for
having responded
to my
call." |
