Our Lady extended Her arms above all those who gathered there and for a certain time prayed in that manner. Our Lady gave the SPECIAL BLESSING. Our Lady's message: "Bless [with the Special Blessing] even those who not believe. You can give them this Blessing from the heart to help them in their conversion. Bless everyone you meet. I give you a special grace. I desire you to give this grace to others."

Our Lady left saying: "Go in peace."

The November 29 SPECIAL BLESSING was given on a day which was not a feast day or special occasion. Our Lady spoke specifically about what She desired with this SPECIAL BLESSING. This was rare and it was interpreted as Our Lady's desire to spread this important gift. Those who gathered in the field were surprised and elated because no one expected this gift.

Marija has said:

1. This is a blessing which has the power to convert and help people.

2. It may be used on believers and non-believers to help them convert or to progress in their conversion process.

3. Once Our Lady gives it to you, it lasts your whole life.

4. You do not have to be in the presence of the one you are blessing.

5. The blessing is as powerful as the degree of faith you have in it and the prayer you offer. The more you pray from the heart, the stronger it is.

6. If you receive this blessing from Our Lady and in turn bless another with it, that person has it to the same degree you first received it from Our Lady. This second person may then give it to a third, and the third to a fourth, etc. All will receive this gift to bless others just as if Our Lady gave it directly. This blessing will last your entire lifetime.

7. You must be at the site of the apparition to receive it directly from Our Lady.

8. To bless someone, a spontaneous prayer is fine. You can say, "I extend to you the blessing of Our Lady". If you choose to say more it is acceptable. When giving this Special Blessing to a non-believer, you may do so silently, in his presence or from a distance. You may extend this blessing everyday to help this person to convert.

The blessing from a priest is Christ's blessing. This Special Blessing is Our Lady's blessing. You should not think of yourself as a priest, blessing as a priest does. Use this blessing in a humble way and extend it to even those you pass on the street. The Blessed Mother has given us a great gift and She desires us to use it.
