Mirjana was 16 years old at the time the apparitions began.It was she, along with Ivanka Ivankovic, on June 24, 1981, who first saw Our Lady in Medjugorje.
Dear Mirjana
Its me John Mariani. I hope you got my first letter that was printed out from my website as it was also for other people to see. But this time I hope that a regular copy of this letter can get to you.
Mirjana I want you to pray for me because I have been going through much suffering. I didn't relay to you in my last letter that I have Cerebral Palsy that is a medical condition. I've been in a wheelchair all my life. I don't know if I've relayed that to you? in my last letter.
I have had four surgeries in the last couple of months because I have a pump in my stomach that pumps medicine throughout my body. I have been having issues with the pump and have had to have many surgeries and have suffered much.
And I ask you in your prayers to help me offer up my suffering when I cannot do it on my own. Please pray for me, I pray for you every single day. I hope that everything is going well in your country.
There is something else I want to reveal to you. A couple of weeks ago I was in the hospital and I had a dream. An angel appeared to me and the Angle said "Stock up on food now". I woke up startled.
The next night I had another dream that there was a total economic collapse. Super Markets were closed and there was chaos everywhere. Marshall Law was enforced in our country and there was chaos throughout the world.
Mirjana I believe that things are getting close. The last message I got from God the Father was that the Trumpet of Judgement has been blown. I believe that the Lord is not holding back anymore.
The Lord and the Blessed Mother told me a couple of months ago that we are in the final hour before the ILLUMINATION of CONCIENCE. We are in the Great Purification before the warning when all hope will seem lost but the warning will be the Rays of Light through the darkness.
Oh Mirjana I want you to pray for me because sometimes I wish I didn't know so much in all these Prophecies that the Lord has given me. It weighs heavy on my heart. And, I'm sure the same goes for you with what the Blessed Mother has revealed to you. But in the end the Immaculate Heart will Triumph as you say.
I love you Mirjana and I look up to you, very, very much. I wish I could see you in person but, I can't.
I hope you will write back to me and I want to tell you that what I am receiving and what I am saying is not to seek attention or gain any fame. I want to let you know that I truly believed in your Apparition and I pray for you every-day and for Medjugorje.
Please Pray for the United States that it turns back to God.
John Mariani
