May 25, 2024 - Monthly Message to Marija (Official Translation) “Dear children! In this time of grace, I am calling you to prayer with the heart. Little children, create prayer groups where you will encourage each other to the good and grow in joy. Little children, you are still far away. That is why continue to convert anew and choose the way of holiness and hope so that God may give you peace in abundance. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Testimony of the Visionary Vicka
Vicka:
“I would like to greet you all. I am so happy to be here with you. I am so happy to be able to share with you the most important messages that Our Lady has been giving to all of us. The principal messages that Our Lady gives us are prayer, peace, conversion, confession, and fasting. Our Lady is asking for us to pray every day all three parts of the rosary, and she is asking us to fast on Wednesdays and Fridays, two days a week, on bread and water only. But the most important thing we should all be praying for is to have a strong firm faith. When Our Lady is calling us to pray, She does not want us to merely recite the prayers with our lips. But what Our Lady desires is that we try, every day, to open our hearts a little bit more until prayer becomes true joy to us.
Teaching us how to pray, Our Lady has given us a simple beautiful example. All of you at home have some plant in a pot. All of you know well that when you continue to water your plant every day giving it just a few drops of water, after a while it is going to blossom. The same is with our heart, when we every day say a few words of prayer, after a while our heart will open itself and blossom. When we forget to water our plant, after a few days it dries up and dies as if it never ever existed before. So many times, when the time to pray comes, we say that we are tired or that we have so much to work so we say we will pray tomorrow, then when tomorrow comes, the day after tomorrow, etc. etc. In this way, little by little, we fall astray, we become distant from prayer and our hearts close for things from God. Our Lady teaches us just as a plant cannot survive without water, the human heart cannot survive without grace from God. To pray with the heart is not something we are likely to learn reading books, but only on our knees praying, and trying to open our heart every day, a little bit more.
Calling us to fast on Wednesdays and Fridays on bread and water. Our Lady says that those who are of poor health need not fast in that way. All they need is to give up something else that they like the most. Yet to those who are in perfectly good health and still continue lamenting, saying they cannot fast because they feel dizzy, they have a headache, they have a stomachache, etc. Our Lady says if we are going to fast out of love for Her and Her Son Jesus, we are not going to have difficulties. All that is required is a strong firm will.
Our Lady is asking for our complete conversion and She says "Dear children, whenever you find yourself in difficulties and facing problems, all of you think my Son Jesus and I are far away from you. No, we are always by your side, near you. Just open up your heart, and with your hearts, you are going to comprehend how much we love you." She is calling us to make little sacrifices every day, but Our Lady is most pleased when we determine and decide not to sin anymore. Our Lady says I give you my peace, I give you my love. Take it to your families, and share it with your friends. Our Lady gives Her blessing to all of us and promises that She is praying for us.
Our Lady says that She is most pleased when in your families and your communities that you pray the rosary together. She is most pleased when she sees parents praying with their children and children praying with their parents. Because thus united in prayer, we are going to be strong to defend ourselves against satan. Our Lady emphasizes that satan wants to disturb us at all times. He wants to take our peace away and disturb us in our prayers. But Our Lady is calling us to intensify our prayers and teaches us that the only weapon against satan is the rosary in our hands.
Therefore, Our Lady recommends to us to have some blessed religious objects at all times on us, whether it is a crucifix, a medal, a rosary, because the power of blessing will keep satan far away from us. Our Lady is teaching us to place the Holy Eucharist in the first place in our lives. Because Mass is the most important and the most sacred moment of all. When Jesus comes alive in our midst, whenever we are in church, Our Lady wants us to receive Jesus without any fear, without any excuse. But to be able to do so Our Lady is recommending to us at least once a month for Holy Confession, and teaches us that confession does not mean to just name your sins, but advises us that in confession we should ask for advice from the priest that will help us to make one step further along the path.
Our Lady is so worried about young people in the world today and She says that young people are living in a very extremely difficult situation. But the only way we can help them is with our love and prayer with the heart. Our Lady says to young people: all the world is offering to you is something transitory, just passing by. In all that, you can only realize that satan wants nothing else but to take advantage of your every free moment to attach himself. And today particularly, is working to destroy young people and to divide our families.
Nevertheless, Our Lady says this is the time of great grace, and She wants us to take seriously Her messages into our hearts and to live them. Our Lady wants us to become the carriers of her message, Her messages, taking Her peace into the world. But first She says we need to pray for peace in our own hearts. Only then can we pray for peace within our own families and communities. Finally, we can pray together for peace in the entire world. Because you see Our Lady says that when we try to pray for peace in the world, not having peace in our hearts, that prayer is not very strong.
At this moment Our Lady is asking of us to intensify our prayers, and praying for Her intentions. She is teaching us every day to hold the bible in our hands and to read just two or three verses every day, and trying to live them for the rest of the day. She is calling us as well to pray for the Holy Father, for all bishops and priests, for the entire Church, because we are in need of prayers.
But in a particular way Our Lady is calling us to pray a little bit more for one particular plan of Hers that is to be realized. But Our Lady is particularly worried about young people in the world and repeats that they are in a very difficult situation. Our Lady says that She prays for peace and She is asking us to pray together with Her for the same intention, helping Her.”
