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
I am writing to you again. Even though we don't know each other, I've missed you and think of you often. I feel the pain of getting closer. As I've told you before the Lord told me we are in the era of Chastisement.
As you know? I'm sure! These are the final labor pains before the Illumination of Conscience. I want you to pray for me very much because I've been thinking a lot about what God has told me.
He told me war will break out and people will be on their knees. Things are going to be at their darkest and that is when Mary and the Father will intervene with the great warning.
I wish I could meet you in person. I believed since I was 13 that your apparitions are authentic. I know that you have a lot to bear and you keep the secrets deep down within your heart. I know you know the time is getting close as Mary has fortold to you.
I believe that people will be coming to Medjugorje for refuge. Because I believe that Medjugorje won't be taken over by the people who want the New World Order. Medjugorje will be safe as it was during the Bosnia–Herzegovina War.
Mirjana I pray for you every day that Mary gives you comfort. I would ask that you would pray for me because there are certain things in my life that I need guidance on. Just pray for me and through the Blessed Mother for me I miss her voice so much.
Tell Ivan if he's over there that I said hello and I will resend a picture of myself again and I will give you my address so you can write back if you possibly can. I would love to hear from you.
I hope your back is okay. I know you've been through a lot of surgery.
God Bless and stay strong for the persecution that is coming. I know that you and the other visionaries have suffered persecution throughout the years.
The church is about to go through some major, major confusion before the warning. So, we must be prepared for persecution. God Bless you Mirjana.
John Mariani
