Medjugorje: this is what happened when the visionary Mirjana met satan

Another testimony on the episode of Mirjana reports dr. Piero Tettamanti: “I saw Satan disguised in the guise of the Madonna. While I waited for Our Lady Satan came. He had a cloak and everything else like the Madonna, but inside there was the face of Satan. When Satan came I felt like I was killed. He destroys and says: You know, he tricked you; you have to come with me, i will make you happy in love, in school and at work. That makes you suffer. Then I repeated: "No, no, I don't want, I don't want to." I'm almost passed out. Then the Madonna arrived and said: "Excuse me, but this is the reality you need to know. As soon as Our Lady arrived I felt as if I had risen, with a force ".

This peculiar episode was mentioned in the report dated 2/12/1983 sent to Rome by the parish of Medjugorje and signed by Fr. Tomislav Vlasic: - Mirjana says she had, in 1982 (14/2), an apparition that, in our opinion, throws rays of light on the history of the Church. It tells of an apparition in which Satan presented himself with the appearances of the Virgin; Satan asked Mirjana to renounce the Madonna and to follow him, because it would make her happy, in love and in life; while, with the Virgin, she had to suffer, he said. Mirjana pushed him away. And immediately the Virgin appeared and Satan disappeared. The Virgin said, in essence, the following: - Excuse me for this, but you must know that Satan exists; one day he appeared before the throne of God and asked for permission to tempt the Church for a certain period. God allowed him to test her for a century. This century is under the power of the devil, but when the secrets that have been entrusted to you are accomplished, his power will be destroyed. Already now he begins to lose his power and has become aggressive: he destroys marriages, raises discord between priests, creates obsessions, assassins. You must protect yourself with prayer and fasting: above all with community prayer. Bring blessed symbols with you. Put them in your homes, resume the use of holy water.

According to some Catholic experts who have studied the apparitions, this message from Mirjana would clarify the vision that the Supreme Pontiff Leo XIII had. According to them, after having had an apocalyptic vision of the future of the Church, Leo XIII introduced the prayer to St. Michael that the priests recited after the mass until the Council. These experts say that the century of trial glimpsed by the Supreme Pontiff Leo XIII is about to end. ... After writing this letter, I gave it to the visionaries to ask the Virgin if its content was correct. Ivan Dragicevic brought me this answer: Yes, the content of the letter is true; the supreme pontiff must be informed first and then the bishop. Here is the excerpt of other interviews with Mirjana on the episode in question: on February 14, 1982 Satan presented you in place of the Madonna. Many Christians no longer believe in Satan. What do you feel like saying to them? In Medjugorje, Mary repeats: "Where I come, Satan also arrives". This means it exists. I would say it exists now more than ever. Those who do not believe in its existence are not right because, in this period there are many more divorces, suicides, murders, there is much more hatred among brothers, sisters and friends. He truly exists and one must be very careful. Mary also advised to sprinkle the house with holy water; there is no need always for the presence of the priest, it can also be done alone, by praying. Our Lady also advised to say the Rosary, because Satan becomes weak in front of it. He recommends reciting the rosary at least once a day.

I once saw - said Mirjana Dragicevic interviewed - the devil. I was waiting for Our Lady and just when I wanted to make the sign of the cross, she appeared to me in her place. Then I got scared. He promised me the most beautiful things in the world, but I said "No!". It immediately disappeared. Afterwards the Madonna appeared. She told me that the devil always tries to deceive believers. The interview made by Fr. Tomislav Vlasic to the visionary Mirjana on January 10, 1983. We report the part that concerns our theme:

- He also told me something very important and that can affect the soul in depth. Here is what he told me ... Long ago, there was a conversation between God and the devil and the devil claimed that people believe in God only when things are going well, but that as soon as the situation gets worse , stop believing in him. And, as a consequence of all this, these people begin to blaspheme God and affirm that he does not exist. Then God wanted to grant the devil permission to take over the world for a whole century and the choice of the evil one fell on the twentieth century. It is precisely the century in which we now live. We can also see with our own eyes how, because of this situation, men rarely decide to collaborate with each other. People have been led astray and nobody can live in peace with his fellow man. There are divorces, children who lose their lives. To summarize, concretely Our Lady meant that in all this there is the interference of the devil. The devil also entered a nunnery and I received a call from two nuns from the nunnery to help me out. The devil had taken over a nun from the convent and the other companions did not know how to deal with the situation. The poor woman writhed, screamed, wanted to hit herself and hurt herself. It was Our Lady herself who informed me that the devil had taken possession of that creature and explained to me what I had to do for her. She told me that I had to spray her with holy water, take her to church, pray on her and that she, Our Lady, would intervene in prayer when that poor nun refused to do it. I did so and the devil left her, but entered two other nuns. You know well, father, of Sister Marinka of Sarajevo ... she too had heard the demon scream ... outside, when she went to bed. But she was smart: she immediately made the sign of the cross and began to pray. A similar event could happen to any of us in our day. We must never be afraid, because if we feel fear, it means that we are not strong enough and that we do not know God. We have only one thing to do, trust God and start praying.

Well, you said that the devil has also entered into some marriages. This is its role from the beginning. You mean: it was.

Yes, I meant: this was the beginning. When? Our Lady had begun to talk to me about this matter, but then the nun called me; it was exactly fifteen days ago. The devil began to represent this role two years ago. Before there were discord, separations, but now it is terrible. Each of us is experiencing it personally. It has become difficult to live close to another person. Maybe you can't understand how serious the situation is when you live away from people. But when one lives in a village or elsewhere ... Really everyone feels something against others ... Everyone always has something to say against others. It is true that people act as enemies among themselves ... this is certainly an attitude determined by the influence of the devil. But you don't necessarily mean that the devil has taken possession of them, since they act in this way. No, no. However, even if the devil is not within them, these people live influenced by the devil. But there are cases where he has taken possession of certain people. Some of these, in which he entered, ended up separating from their partner and divorced. In this regard, Our Lady said that in order to prevent this phenomenon at least in part and to prevent it from spreading, a common prayer is needed, the prayer of the family. Indeed, she pointed out that family prayer is the most powerful remedy. It is also necessary to have at least one sacred object in the house and the house should be blessed regularly.

Let me ask you another question: where is the demon active today? Did the Virgin tell you through whom and how do you celebrate most?

Especially in those individuals who do not have a balanced character, in people who live divided among themselves or in those who let themselves be dragged by different currents. But the devil has a preference: he aspires to enter the life of the most convinced believers. It has been seen what happened to me. Its purpose is to attract as many of those who have faith to it.

Sorry, explain to me what you wanted to say when you said the phrase "what happened to me". Did you want to refer to that fact you told me about a while ago?

Yes, just that. But you never mentioned it in the interview we are recording. You never said what happened to you personally. It's true. I think this matter goes back to about six months ago. I don't know exactly the exact day it happened. As I often do, I had locked myself in my room and was alone. I had started to think of the Madonna and had knelt, without making the sign of the cross yet. Suddenly, there was a glow in the room and the devil appeared to me. I can't explain it, but I understood, without anyone telling me, that this was a demon. Of course, I looked at him with great amazement and fear. It looked horrible, it was something black, all black and ... it had something terrifying ... something unreal. I stared at him: I didn't understand what he wanted from me. I began to feel confused, weak and eventually lost consciousness. When I recovered, I realized that he was still there and was grinning. It was as if he wanted to give me strength, to be able to accept it normally. He also started talking and explained to me that if I followed him, I would become more and more beautiful and happier than other people ... and he said other similar things. He insisted that the only thing I didn't need was Our Lady. And there was another thing that I would no longer need: my faith. "Our Lady brought you only sufferings and difficulties!" - he told me -. Instead, he would offer me the most beautiful things that exist. At this point there was something in me ... I can't say what it was, if it was in me or something in my soul ... that began to tell me: "No, no, no!". I began to tremble and tried to shake myself. I felt a terrible torment inside me and he disappeared. Then, Our Lady appeared and, as she was present, my strength returned: it was she who made me understand who that horrible being I had seen was. Here is what happened to me. I was forgetting one thing. On that occasion, Our Lady also said to me: "It was a bad time, this, but it has now passed."

Didn't Our Lady say more to you?

Yes, he added that what happened had to happen and that he would explain why later.

You said that the twentieth century was entrusted into the hands of the devil. v Yes.

Do you mean this century, considered chronologically until the year 2000 in a more generic way?

No, I meant in a generic way.

Regarding Mirjana's experience, we read the testimony that Vicka gave on 13/3/1988:

- One day, while Mirjana was praying, waiting for the apparition, Satan suddenly appeared to her in the form of a young man, who spoke to her against Our Lady and made her very attractive proposals for her future. His appearance was not only not fearful, but rather he sought to inspire confidence and sympathy. Immediately afterwards Our Lady appeared and said to Mirjana: “See, Satan does not insinuate himself into your life by bringing fear, but by disguising himself as a charming and worthy person, presenting his proposals as very attractive and bearers of happiness. He is so intelligent and cunning that, if he finds you weak, distracted and not very devoted to prayer, he can easily infiltrate your heart, without you noticing and without recognizing it "(from We did not go by chance to Medjugorje, pp. 239-240, Rome 1988). More reluctant to talk about certain topics Jakov Colo: “I don't want to talk about Hell - he said on Easter 1990. For those who don't believe I can only say that they exist and that I have seen! Maybe even before I doubted these things. But now I know they really exist. " In hell - explained Jakov Colo - people continually transform themselves into hideous animals that swear and swear (27/10/1991). Vicka and Jakov described hell "as a sea of ​​fire, in which black shapes moved ...

In an interview published in La Madonna a Medjugorje, published by the Capuchin parish of NS Lourdes in Rijeka, the visionaries on the vision of hell provided similar and complementary answers at the same time: “In hell men suffer: it is something terrible ”(Marija). Hell: in the center there is a large fire, without embers; only the flame is seen. There is a lot of crowd. And they walk one by one crying. Some have horns, others have tails and even four legs. All the visionaries have seen Heaven. Some also include Purgatory and Hell. Our Lady said to them: I show you this so that you can see what reward awaits those who love God and the punishment of those who offend him! " On 22 May 1988 an envoy of the Sign of the Supernatural interviewed Vicka, who confirmed what she had already been able to say about hell, while adding some new elements: Hell is an immense place at the center of which there is fire, a great fire. People who initially appeared with a common human physiognomy by falling into the fire were deformed. They lost all human image and likeness ... the deeper they fell, the more they swore. Our Lady told us: these people voluntarily chose this place. In the HELL - says Vicka -, in the middle, there is like a big fire, there is like a great depression - how to say? - a chasm, an abyss. Our Lady showed us how the souls who were in this place were, during their life: and then she showed us how they are now in hell. They are no longer human persons. It would appear that they have the appearance of animals with horns and tails. They blaspheme God ever stronger and stronger and more and more they fall into that fire and the more they fall, the more they blaspheme. Teeth noise is heard, blasphemy and hatred towards God are heard. The interpreter added: "Once Vicka reported that Our Lady said:" If a soul of Hell could say: Lord forgive me, Lord free me, it would be safe. " But it cannot say it, it does not mean it ». Marija Pavlovic about Hell says: “Then Hell as a big space with a big fire in the center. At that moment we saw a young girl who was taken by the fire and came out like a beast. Our Lady explained that God gave the freedom with which one responds to God. They chose badly on earth. At the moment of death, God revises all past life and each one decides for himself what he knows he deserves ”.

On August 17, 1988 Sante Ottaviani asked Marija Pavlovic some questions about this singular experience; the seer said: We have seen hell, like a large space where there is a large fire and many people in the center. In a special way, a young girl who, taken by that fire, came out of it who looked like a beast. Later, Our Lady said that God has given us all freedom and that each of us responds with this freedom. They responded with sin all their lives, they lived in sin. With their freedom they chose hell. Are the images - asked Sante Ottaviani - real or symbolic, that is, is fire suffering symbolic? We - Marija replied - do not know. I think it's like reality. Our Lady to Mirjana explained the contrast between divine mercy and the eternity of hell: the eternity of hell is based on the hatred that the damned have towards God, for which they do not even want to leave hell. Why aren't the damned allowed to leave from hell? Mirjana asked the Virgin. And She: “If they prayed to God, He would allow it. But the damned when they enter hell it is as if they enjoyed more evil; therefore they will never pray to God ”. Also in Mirjana the Virgin said: Those who go to hell no longer want to receive any benefit from God; they do not repent; they do nothing but swear and blaspheme; they want to stay in hell and don't think they're leaving him. In purgatory there are several levels; the lowest is near hell and the highest approaches the gate of heaven.

On 25/6/1990, before Fra Giuseppe Minto, the visionary Vicka said that Our Lady about the eternal experience of hell, so elucidated: The people who are in hell are there because they themselves wanted to go with their own will, and the people who here on earth live doing everything against the will of God, already experience hell in their heart and then only continue. On April 21, 1984 (therefore in the Easter season) Our Lady would have said: Today Jesus died for your salvation. He went down to hell, he opened the door of Heaven ... Marija Pavlovic on July 28, 1985 to a group of pilgrims said: I have seen the presence of Satan even in the strange language of some people who say: Heaven and Purgatory exist, but Hell does not exist. This is because they have behind them many bad things they have done, and they don't want to change their conduct. In reality these people feel inside them that hell exists, but they say it isn't because otherwise they should change their life. Mirjana Dragicevic interviewed by Fr. Tomislav Vlasic regarding the experience of the apparitions, underlined the following: I asked Our Lady to explain to me some things, about heaven, purgatory and hell ... For example, how can God be so cruel as to throw people into hell to to suffer forever. I thought: when a person commits a crime he is sentenced to prison for a certain time, but then he is forgiven. Why does hell have to last forever? Our Lady explained to me that the souls who go to hell have ceased to think of God, have cursed him and continue to blaspheme him. In this way, they became part of hell and chose not to be freed from it. He also pointed out to me that in purgatory there are different levels: from those close to hell, to those gradually higher, towards heaven. Where is the devil particularly active today? Through whom or what is mainly manifested? Mainly through people of weak character, divided in themselves, on which the devil can act more easily. However, it can also enter the life of convinced believers: nuns, for example. He prefers to "convert" authentic believers rather than non-believers. His victory is greater if he conquers souls who had already chosen God.
