Ivan of Medjugorje talks about punishment and the three days of darkness

Our Lady has opened the door of my heart. He pointed his finger at me. He asked me to follow her. At first I was very scared. I could not believe that the Madonna could appear to me. I was 16, I was a young man. I was a believer and attended church. But did I know anything about the apparitions of the Madonna? To tell the truth, no. Really, it is a great joy for me to look at the Madonna every day. It is a great joy for my family, but it is also a great responsibility. I know that God has given me so much, but I also know that God expects a lot from me. And believe me, it is very difficult to see the Madonna every day, to rejoice in her presence, to be happy, joyful with her, and then to return to this world. When Our Lady came for the second time, she introduced herself as the Queen of Peace. He said: “My Dear Sons, My Son sends me to you to help you. Dear children, peace must reign between God and you. Today the world is in great danger and is in danger of being destroyed. " Our Lady comes from her Son, the King of Peace. Our Lady comes to show us the way, the path that will lead us to Her Son - to God. She wants to take our hand and lead us to peace, guide us to God. In one of her messages she says: "Dear Sons, if there is not it is peace in the human heart, there cannot be peace in the world. So you have to pray for peace. " She comes to heal our wounds. He wants to raise this world immersed in sin, calling this world to peace, conversion and strong faith. In one of the messages he says: “Dear Sons, I am with you and I want to help you because peace reigns. But, dear children, I need you! Only with you can I achieve this peace. So decide for good and fight evil and sin! "

There are many people in the world today who talk about some fear. There are many people today who talk about three days of darkness and many punishments, and many times I hear people say that this is what Our Lady says in Medjugorje. But I have to tell you that Our Lady doesn't say this, people say it. Our Lady does not come to us to frighten us. Our Lady comes as Mother of hope, Mother of light. She wants to bring this hope into this world so tired and needy. He wants to show us how to get out of this terrible situation in which we find ourselves. She wants to teach us because she is the mother, she is the teacher. She is here to remind us what is good because we can reach hope and light.

It is very difficult to describe to you the love that Our Lady has for each of us, but I want to tell you that she carries each of us in her maternal heart. Throughout this 15-year period, the messages he has given to us, he has given to the whole world. There is no special message for a single country. There is no special message for America or Croatia or another particular country. No. All messages are for the whole world and all messages begin with "My Dear Sons" because she is our Mother, because she loves us so much, she needs us so much, and we are all important to her. With the Madonna, nobody is excluded. He calls us all - to end it with sin and to open our hearts to the peace that will bring us to God. The peace that God wants to give us and the peace that Our Lady has brought us for 15 years is a great gift for all of us. For this gift of peace we must open up every day and pray every day personally and in community - especially today when there are so many crises in the world. There is a crisis in the family, among young people, youth, and even in the Church.
The most important crisis today is the crisis of faith in God. People have turned away from God because families have turned away from God. Therefore Our Lady says in her messages: “Dear Sons, put God first in your life; then put your family in second place. " Our Lady does not ask us to know more about what others are doing, but she expects and asks us that we open our own hearts and do what we can do. She doesn't teach us to point the finger at someone else and say what she does or doesn't do, but she asks us to pray for others.
