Introduction to the Annual Messages
Annual Messages to Mirjana
Mirjana Dragičević-Soldo had daily apparitions from June 24, 1981 to December 25, 1982. On that day, Our Lady told her:
“Mirjana I chose you, and I told you everything that is necessary. I entrusted you with the knowledge of many abominations, which you must carry with dignity. Think of me, and how much I too shed tears because of this. You must always be brave. You quickly understood my messages, and so you must understand that now I must leave. Be brave!”
Entrusting to her the tenth secret, Our Lady told her that for the rest of her life she would have one yearly apparition, on March 18th.
Annual Messages to Ivanka
Ivanka Ivanković-Elez had daily apparitions from June 24, 1981 to May 7, 1985. On that day, Our Lady told her:
“My dear child, today is our last meeting, but do not be sad because I will come to you on every anniversary except this one. My child, do not think that you have done something wrong, and that’s why I no longer come. No, this isn’t true. The plan which my Son and I have, you accepted with all your heart and completed your part. Be happy because I am your mother and I love you with all my heart. Ivanka, thank you for having responded to the invitation of my Son and for persevering and for always being close to him and staying until he had completed that for which he asked of you. My child, tell your friends that both I and my Son will always be there for you when you seek or call us. That which I told you during these years about the secrets, it is still not time to tell anyone. Ivanka, the grace which you and the others received, nobody on this earth has received up until now!”
Confiding to her the tenth secret, Our Lady told her that for the rest of her life, she would have one yearly apparition on June 25th, the anniversary of the apparitions.
Annual Messages to Jakov
Jakov Čolo had daily apparitions from June 25, 1981 to September 12, 1998. On that day, Our Lady told him:
“Dear child! I am your mother and I love you unconditionally. From today, I will not be appearing to you every day, but only on Christmas, the birthday of my Son. Do not be sad, because as a mother, I will always be with you and like every true mother, I will never leave you. And you continue further to follow the way of my Son, the way of peace and love and try to persevere in the mission that I have confided to you. Be an example of that man who has known God and God’s love. Let people always see in you an example of how God acts on people and how God acts through them. I bless you with my motherly blessing and I thank you for having responded to my call.”
Entrusting to him the tenth secret, Our Lady told him that for the rest of his life he would have one yearly apparition, on Christmas Day.
From the Medjugorje parish: “Inasmuch as the work on the archives is still going on, we cannot publish the messages given before 1995.”
1995
“Dear children, already for many years as a Mother, I have been teaching you faith and God’s love. You have not shown gratitude to the dear Father nor have you given him glory. You have become empty and your heart has become hard and without love toward your neighbours’ sufferings. I am teaching you love and showing you that the dear Father loved you but you have not loved him. He sacrificed his Son for your salvation, my children. As long as you do not love, you will not know your Father’s love. You won’t get to know him because God is love. Love and don’t be afraid, my children, because there is no fear in love. If your hearts are open to the Father and if they are full of love toward him, then why any fear of what is to come? Those who are afraid are the ones who do not love because they are waiting for punishments and because they know how empty and hard they are. Children, I am leading you to love, to the dear Father. I am leading you to eternal life. Eternal life is my Son. Receive him and you have received love.” (Mirjana 03/18/1995)
Our Lady blessed every one present at the apparition. She spoke to me about the secrets. She called us to pray for families because Satan desires to destroy them. In addition, Our Lady called on all people to be messengers of peace. (Ivanka 06/25/1995)
1996
“Dear children, on this message, which I give you today through my servant, I desire for you to reflect a long time. My children, great is the love of God. Do not close your eyes, do not close your ears, while I repeat to you: Great is his love! Hear my call and my supplication, which I direct to you. Consecrate your heart and make in it the home of the Lord. May he dwell in it forever. My eyes and my heart will be here even when I will no longer appear. Act in everything as I ask you and lead you to the Lord. Do not reject from yourself the name of God, that you may not be rejected. Accept my messages that you may be accepted. Decide, my children, it is the time of decision. Be of just and innocent heart that I may lead you to your Father, for this, that I am here, is his great love. Thank you for being here!” (Mirjana 03/18/1996)
Our Lady thanks us for our prayer and for our love and desires that prayer and love become interwoven into every day. In conclusion, she invited us to pray for those who were under diabolic possession. (Ivanka 06/25/1996)
1997
“Dear children, as a mother I beseech you, do not go on the way you have been going. That is a way without love toward neighbour and toward my Son. On that way, you will find only hardness and emptiness of heart, and not the peace that everyone is crying out for. Genuine peace will be had only by the one who sees and loves my Son in his neighbour. In whose heart my Son reigns, that one knows what peace is and tranquility. Thank you having responded to my call.” (Mirjana 03/18/1997)
“Dear children, pray with the heart to know how to forgive and how to be forgiven. I thank you for your prayers and the love you give to me.” (Ivanka 06/25/ 1997)
1998
“Dear children, I call you to be my light, in order to enlighten all those who still live in darkness, to fill their hearts with Peace, my Son. Thank you for having responded to my call!” (Mirjana 03/18/1998)
Our Lady was joyful. I asked her to bless everyone, which she did. Our Lady talked to me about all the secrets. She invited us to pray for the families at this time and especially to pray for the sick. She called us to open our hearts and to thank her Son for the grace he has given us. At the end, Our Lady thanked us for our prayers and love. (Ivanka 06/25/1998)
“Dear children, today, on the birthday of my Son, my heart is filled with immeasurable joy, love and peace. As your mother, I desire for each of you to feel that same joy, peace and love in the heart. That is why, do not be afraid to open your heart and to completely surrender yourself to Jesus, because only in this way can he enter into your heart and fill it with love, peace and joy. I bless you with my motherly blessing.” (Jakov 12/25/1998)
1999
“Dear children, I want you to surrender your hearts to me so that I may take you on the way which leads to the light and to eternal life. I do not want your hearts to wander in today’s darkness. I will help you. I will be with you on this way of discovery of the love and the mercy of God. As a mother, I ask you to permit me to do this. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (Mirjana 03/18/1999)
“Dear children, thank my Son for all the graces that he has given you. Pray for peace, pray for peace, pray for peace!” (Ivanka 06/25/1999)
“Dear children, today on the birthday of my Son, when my heart is filled with immeasurable joy and love, I invite you to open fully and surrender fully to God. Throw out all the darkness from your heart and let God’s light and God’s love enter your heart and dwell there forever. Be carriers of God’s light and love to all people, so that everyone, in you and through you, can feel and experience the authentic light and love that only God can give you. I am blessing you with my motherly blessing!” (Jakov 12/25/1999)
2000
“Dear children, do not seek peace and happiness in vain, in the wrong places and in wrong things. Do not permit your hearts to become hard by loving vanity. Invoke the name of my Son. Receive him in your heart. Only in the name of my Son will you experience true happiness and true peace in your heart. Only in this way will you come to know the love of God and spread it further. I am calling you to be my apostles.” (Mirjana 03/18/2000)
“I introduced myself as ‘Queen of Peace.’ Again, I call you to peace, fasting, prayer. Renew family prayer and receive my blessing.” (Ivanka 06/25/2000)
“Dear children, today when Jesus is born and by his birth brings immeasurable joy, love and peace, I call you, in a special way to say your ‘Yes’ to Jesus. Open your hearts so that Jesus enters into them, comes to dwell in them and starts to work through you. Only in this way will you be able to comprehend the true beauty of God’s love, joy and peace. Dear children, rejoice in the birth of Jesus and pray for all those hearts that have not opened to Jesus so that Jesus may enter into each of their hearts and may start working through them – so that every person would be an example of a true person through whom God works.” (Jakov 12/25/2000)
2001
“Dear children, today I call you to love and mercy. Give love to each other as your Father gives it to you. Be merciful – with the heart. Do good works, not permitting them to wait for you too long. Every mercy that comes from the heart brings you closer to my Son.” (Mirjana 03/18/2001)

“Dear children, today when Jesus is born anew for you, in a special way, I want to call you to conversion. Pray, pray, pray for the conversion of your heart, so that Jesus may be born in you all, and may dwell in you and come to reign over your entire being. Thank you for having responded to the call.” (Jakov 12/25/2001)
2002
“Dear children, as a mother, I implore you, open your heart and offer it to me, and fear nothing. I will be with you and will teach you how to put Jesus in the first place. I will teach you to love him and to belong to him completely. Understand, Dear children, that without my Son there is no salvation. You should become aware that he is your beginning and your end. Only with this awareness can you be happy and merit eternal life. As your mother, I desire this for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (Mirjana 03/18/2002)
“Dear children, do not tire of prayer. Pray for peace, peace, peace.” (Ivanka 06/25/2002)
“Dear children, today, on the day of love and peace, with Jesus in my arms, I call you to prayer for peace. Little children, without God and prayer you cannot have peace. Therefore, little children, open your heart so that the King of Peace may be born in your heart. Only in this way, you can witness and carry God’s peace to this peaceless world. I am with you and bless you with my motherly blessing.” (Jakov 12/25/2002)
2003
“Dear children, particularly at this holy time of penance and prayer, I call you to make a choice. God gave you free will to choose life or death. Listen to my messages with the heart that you may become cognizant of what you are to do and how you will find the way to life. My children, without God you can do nothing; do not forget this even for a single moment. For what are you and what will you be in the earth when you return under it again? Do not anger God, but follow me to life. Thank you for being here.” (Mirjana 03/18/2003)

Only through prayer and complete surrender, will your heart be filled with the love and peace of Jesus. I bless you with my motherly blessing.” (Jakov 12/25/2003)
2004
“Dear children, also today, watching you with a heart full of love, I desire to tell you that what you persistently seek, what you long for, my little children, is in front of you. It is sufficient that, in a purified heart, you place my Son in the first place, and then you will be able to see. Listen to me and permit me to lead you to this in a motherly way.” (Mirjana 03/18/2004)

Little children, Jesus is peace, love and joy; therefore now decide for Jesus. Start to pray. Pray to him for the gift of conversion. Little children, only with Jesus can you have peace, joy and a heart filled with love. Little children, I love you. I am your mother and give you my motherly blessing.” (Jakov 12/25/2005)
2006
“Dear children, in this Lenten time, I call you to interior renunciation. The way to this leads you through love, fasting, prayer and good works. Only with total interior renunciation will you recognize God’s love and the signs of the time in which you live. You will be witnesses of these signs and will begin to speak about them.

“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 will ask yourself: ‘What does my 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.”

2010
“Dear children! Today I call you to love with all your heart and with all your soul. Pray for the gift of love, because when the soul loves it calls my Son to itself.

“Dear children! Today, in a special way, I desire to take you to and give you over to my Son.

Thank you for having responded to my call.” (Jakov 12/25/2011)
2012
“Dear children! I am coming among you because I desire to be your mother – your intercessor. I desire to be the bond between you and the Heavenly Father – your mediatrix. I desire to take you by the hand and to walk with you in the battle against the impure spirit. My children, consecrate yourselves to me completely. I will take your lives into my motherly hands and I will teach them peace and love, and then I will give them over to my Son. I am asking of you to pray and fast because only in this way will you know how to witness my Son in the right way through my motherly heart.

My children, Jesus loves you and gives you the grace to live in His mercy, but sin has overtaken many of your hearts and you live in darkness. Therefore, my children, do not wait, say ‘No’ to sin and surrender your hearts to my Son, because only in this way will you be able to live God’s mercy and, with Jesus in your hearts, set out on the way of salvation.” (Jakov 12/25/2012)
2013
“Dear children! I call you to bless the name of the Lord with complete trust and joy, and, day after day, to give Him thanks from the heart for His great love. Through the love which He showed by the Cross, my Son gave you the possibility to be forgiven everything; so that you do not have to be ashamed or to hide, or out of fear not to open the door of your heart to my Son. On the contrary, my children, reconcile with the Heavenly Father so that you may be able to come to love yourselves as my Son loves you. When you come to love yourselves, you will also love others; in them you will see my Son and recognize the greatness of His love. Live in faith! Through me, my Son is preparing you for the works which He desires to do through you – works through which He desires to be glorified. Give Him thanks. Especially thank Him for the shepherds – for your intercessors in the reconciliation with the Heavenly Father. I am thanking you, my children. Thank you.” (Mirjana 03/18/2013)
Our lady appeared to Ivanka at her home. It lasted two minutes. Only Ivanka’s family was present. After the apparition, the visionary said: “The Virgin did not give any message. She blessed us with her motherly blessing.” (Ivanka 06/25/2013)
