Our Lady's Annual Apparition and Message
March 18, 2009
Our Lady appeared to Mirjana on March 18, 2009 for her normal apparition. The apparition took place at the Blue Cross. Our Lady appeared to Mirjana at 1:53p.m. The apparition lasted about four and a half minutes, ending at 1:58 p.m. Our Lady gave the following message:
"Dear children! Today I call you to look into your hearts sincerely and for a long time. What will you see in them? Where is my Son in them and where is the desire to follow me to Him? My children, may this time of renunciation be a time when you ask yourself: 'What does God desire of me personally? What am I to do?' Pray, fast, and have a heart full of mercy. Do not forget your shepherds. Pray that they may not get lost, that they may remain in my Son so as to be good shepherds to their flock."
Our Lady looked at all those present and said:
"Again I say to you, if you knew how much I love you, you would cry with happiness. Thank you."
Ivanka was the second Medjugorje visionary to receive all 10 secrets and to stop seeing Our Lady on a regular basis. Her last daily apparition was May 7, 1985. Our Lady promised Ivanka that She would appear to her once a year for the rest of her life on June 25th, the anniversary of the apparitions.
Ivanka had her apparition at home with her husband and children. Ivanka relayed that Our Lady was with her for 10 minutes and spoke to her of the tenth secret.
‘Dear children, I call you to be apostles of peace. Peace, peace, peace.’
“Dear children! All of this time in which God in a special way permits me to be with you, I desire to lead you on the way that leads to Jesus and to your salvation. My little children, you can find salvation only in God and therefore, especially on this day of grace with little Jesus in my arms, I call you to permit Jesus to be born in your hearts. Only with Jesus in your heart can you set out on the way of salvation and eternal life. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
