Medjugorje: Ivan tells us about the struggle between Our Lady and Satan

The visionary Ivan left these declarations to Father Livio:

I must say that Satan is present today, as never before in the world! What we must particularly highlight today is that Satan wants to destroy families, he wants to destroy young people: young people and families are the foundation of the new world ... I would also like to say another thing: Satan wants to destroy the Church itself.

There is its presence also in Priests who are not doing well; and also wants to destroy the Priestly Vocations that are emerging. But Our Lady always warns us before Satan acts: she warns us of his presence. For this we must pray. We must particularly highlight these very important components: 1 ° families and young people, 2 ° the Church and Vocations.

Undoubtedly all this is a more evident sign of the spiritual renewal of the world and of families… In fact many pilgrims come here to Medjugorje, change their lives, change their married life; some, after many years resume confession, become better and, returning to their homes, become a sign in the environment in which they live.

By communicating their change, they help their Church, form Prayer Groups and invite others to change their lives. This is a movement that will never stop ... These rivers of people who come to Medjugorje, we can say that they are "hungry". A true pilgrim is always a hungry man who is looking for something; a tourist goes to rest and goes to other destinations.

But the true pilgrim is looking for something else. For 31 years of my experience of the apparitions, I have met people from all parts of the world and I feel that people today are hungry for peace, they are hungry for love, they are hungry for God. Here, they truly find God here and a relief; then they walk through life with this change.

As I am an instrument of the Madonna, so too they will become his instruments to evangelize the world. We must all participate in this evangelization! It is an evangelization of the world, the family and young people. The time in which we live is the time of great responsibility
