Last daily apparition to Mirjana and the mysterious parchment (story by Mirjana herself)

LAST DAILY APPEARANCE IN MIRJANA AND THE MYSTERIOUS PARCHMENT

(in the fascinating story of Mirjana herself)

+ + +

On 23 December 1982 the Madonna appeared to me as usual; it was, like the other times, a beautiful experience that filled my soul with joy. But towards the end he looked at me with tenderness and said: "At Christmas I will appear to you for the last time."

At the end of the apparition I was shocked. I had heard what he said well, but I couldn't believe it. How could I have lived without the apparitions? It seemed impossible. I prayed intensely for this not to come true.

The next day, on Christmas Eve, Our Lady still tried to prepare me, but I still did not understand. I spent most of the night begging God to give me more time with her.

My parents and my brother celebrated Christmas with songs, prayers and food, but I was too worried to join the party. I was there, among my dearest affections, I was about to participate in Christmas with the same woman who had given birth to Jesus two thousand years ago, and I couldn't even manage to smile.

With the time of the apparition approaching, I was more anxious than ever. Mum, dad and my brother put on the most beautiful clothes for the party and knelt beside me. We prayed the rosary to prepare for the apparition. When he appeared, Our Lady smiled sweetly and greeted me in a motherly way, as she always did. I was enchanted: her face radiated the same spectacular gold color it had the year before, and in that moment - with all the grace and beauty that poured out on me - it was not possible to be sad.

Later the mei told me that that last apparition had lasted 45 minutes, an extraordinary thing. Our Lady and I talked about many things. We went through all the eighteen months we spent together - everything we had said to each other and all that she had revealed to me. He gave me the tenth and final secret, explaining that I should choose a priest for a special role. Ten days before the date of the event foreseen in the first secret I will have to communicate to this priest what will happen. Then he and I will have to pray and fast for seven days and, three days before the event, the priest will reveal it to the world. All ten secrets will be revealed in this way.

ON MARCH 18

Our Lady also gave me a precious gift: she told me that she would appear to me once a year, on March 18, for the rest of my life. March 18th is my birthday, but Our Lady did not choose this date for this reason. For you, my birthday is no different from any other person's. The world will understand why Mary chose March 18 only when the facts contained in the secrets begin to occur. At that point, the meaning of that date will be clear. He also said I would have a few more extra appearances.

Then he handed me something like a rolled up parchment, explaining that all ten secrets were written on it, and that I should show it to the priest of my choice to reveal them when the time came. I took it from her hand without looking at it.

“Now you will have to turn to God in faith, like any other person,” he said. “Mirjana, I chose you. I told you all the essentials. I have also shown you many terrible things. Now you have to endure everything with courage. Think of me and the tears I have to shed for this. You must always have courage. You understood the messages immediately. You must also understand that I have to go away. Be brave ”.

She promised that she would always be with me and that she would help me in the most difficult situations, but the pain I felt in my soul was almost unbearable. Our Lady understood my affliction and asked me to pray. I recited the prayer I often said when I was alone with her: the Salve Regina… […].

THE ROLL

She smiled as motherly as possible, and then disappeared. I never could have imagined that a Christmas could be so sad.

"But how?", I thought. "How can it be that I will never see Our Lady again every day?"

I realized that I was still holding the scroll he had given me. Having always seen Our Lady as I see any human being, it was natural to take an object from her hand, as I would have done with anyone. But now that the apparition was over, I was amazed to see that scroll still in my hands. "How did this happen?" I wondered. "Why am I holding an object from Heaven in my hand?" Like so many other events that occurred in the previous eighteen months, I could only consider it a mystery of God.

The beige-colored scroll was made of a parchment-like material - not really paper or fabric, but somewhere in between. I unwrapped it carefully and found the ten secrets written in elegant cursive handwriting. There were no decorations or illustrations; every secret was written in simple and clear words, almost like those used by Our Lady when she explained them to me for the first time. The secrets were not numbered, but listed in order, one after the other: the first written at the top and the last at the bottom. The dates of future events were specified.
