Our Lady’s message’s from Medjugorje words
of wisdom Pearls of Gold from Heaven.
Its messages, Its Teachings, Its call to all of us.
By Philip Illsley www.holyishisname.co.uk
Chapter 1. I want to tell you my friends some aspects of our Lady’s
Messages, knowing that words are not enough. These messages,
their teachings, their calls, have to reach our hearts, and this is
a sovereign act of God, It is God’s touching of our hearts His
call to holiness. On The 25th July 1987 – Our Lady’s message was
this; I beseech you to take up the way of holiness, beginning
Today. The Gospel reading on this day was the passage of
Mathew Chapter 22 This recalls the great commandment, When
Jesus was asked which is the greatest commandment, Jesus
said, You shall love the Lord your God, with all your heart
with all your soul, and with all your mind; The second is like it
You shall love your neighbour as yourself, On these two
commandments the whole law is based God cannot have less
than a Holy People.
Be Holy as I Am Holy says The Lord Our Blessed Lady She asks us all to study the scriptures every day
the scriptures are a means to have a holy people “ His Holy
People” Medjugorje is private revelation, and it will never change
or add to public revelation of the Scriptures.
Medjugorje is a Great Gift from God, this oasis of Peace, of
Love, of Prayer, of Penance, that brings us all back to Jesus
that brings us all back to the Church, that brings us all back to
public revelation; Medjugorje is a Massive aid to make us all
“That Holy People “ This Great Gift from God of Mary’s
presence in Medjugorje is such an impulse to Holiness that it
makes us all want to return to Jesus, His Church, and to be
faithful and to seek holiness. Our Lady comes with a whole
series of Messages on Holiness. She says, without holiness you
cannot live, You know I want to guide you on the way to
holiness. She says, live holy lives, live in holiness and
Pray daily and change your lives in order that you may
be holy.
DECIDE FOR HOLINESS She is totally in harmony with the plan of God for us all to be
Holy—She says; I invite you all to start living in God’s Love,
you are ready to commit sin and put yourselves in the hands of
Satan. DECIDE FOR GOD My friends She is Perfect
Holiness She is the Immaculate Conception and she wants to
give us all Gods Gift to Her – Holiness.
Our Mother asks us all to pray daily and to change our lives in
order that we may all be Holy. She is totally in harmony with
God’s plan for us all to be Holy. This is an appeal to your hearts
and I hope and pray that God can touch your heart with the desire
to be Holy for God. Our Lady my friends is the Lady of
Sorrows; She had terrible sorrows, She knows the way is difficult
and sometimes bitter, and everyone of these sorrows have to be
there, because without those sorrows we cannot really be tested to
see if we chose Her way to Magnify the Lord and to really Trust
in God. All of Her sorrows were tests because its Joys and
sorrows that lead us all to The Glorious Mysteries. She says it is
God who offers you sorrow So pray and accept All that God is
giving you.
Our Lady my friends tells us that this way to Holiness means an
explicit choice of one master. You cannot serve two masters
Heaven is to be longed for and we must all search for it seek it
seek the Kingdom of God. Our life will go quickly our life is
short we must all get our values straight. Our Blessed Mother
wants us all to see the world from God’s point of view to seek it
and to desire it. God gives us the desire and if we truly have the
desire for Holiness God tends to fulfil it.
God My friends wants us all to be Holy. God gives us this desire
and our lives are lived as a Pilgrimage to this accomplishment and
if you are not sure that you have this desire for Holiness. Then we
must all pray for it long for Heaven my friends and Holiness. The road to Heaven is not an 8 lane highway, Jesus calls it the
narrow path we are all called my friends to be part of the few who
want the way of Holiness. Through the intercession of Our Lady
the Queen of Peace may God give us the desire to lead us on
until we possess Him fully in His Eternal Presence Forever.
Without Holiness NO MAN shall see the Lord
( Hebrews 12:14 )
Our Lady tells us here at Medjugorje that without us God’s plan
for the salvation of all mankind cannot be realised.
Only through Prayer she says are we able to
understand our role in God’s Plan to save mankind.
This is why Our Lady is constantly asking for daily
Prayer. She says Think about what you are saying
and to whom you are addressing in Prayer God.

Our Lady’s message’s from Medjugorje words of
wisdom pearls of Gold from Heaven.
Its messages, Its teachings Its call to all of us.

Chapter 2
These messages from Our Lady at Medjugorje are not just words
and we must constantly ask that our hearts be touched and opened
so that the word of God, Our Lady’s words given here at
Medjugorje can really affect this change in all our hearts. The
primary way for us all to spread these messages is that we all
become the messenger. In the first of Our Lady’s Messages
she expressed what she called. “ Two wishes “ In the very first
message Our Lady said Dear Children, I have chosen this
parish in a special way and I wish to lead it Her first wish I
wish to lead it to protect it and I want everyone to be mine. Then
in the next week She said Dear Children In this parish. I want
you to start converting in that way All who come here will be
able to convert. This was Her second wish my friends that people
would convert because you have converted. If we could really
convert Then other people will be touched or moved through
you instruments of grace.
St James Church in Medjugorje Our Mother also expressed something very touching that very first
month, about the sufferings of Jesus, she said; That She wanted us
all to persevere in trials, and difficulties for us all to just think and
ponder how the Almighty. Her Son is still suffering today and
suffering NOW because of our sins. She urges us all my friends
when difficulties come into our lives offer them as a sacrifice to
God, because this is something we have lost today sacrifice, and
reparation to the Sacred Heart of Her Son for our sins.
---------- We Must all STOP SINNING ------------- She asks us all to stop sinning! She asks for reparation satisfaction
for the wounds inflicted upon His Sacred Heart, this Heart that has
been offended by all kinds of sin. Those first weeks of the
messages Our Lady spoke some very profound Truths. Her Wish
that She would lead us and Her second wish that we will all
convert and that if we do others will turn to God through our
conversion. She also stressed that the Heart of Jesus, and how it is
inflicted with all kinds of sin Our Lady said He is offended by
all kinds of sin. Our Lady urges us all to go to War with sin.
Sin She says destroys our relationship with God. And Sin
isolates us all from God and cuts us of from His wisdom and
graces.
Jesus was pointed out by St John the Baptist as the one. Who
takes away the sins of the world the lamb of God. John
preached repentance and conversion of sin. Johns function as
afore- runner of Jesus was to baptize for the repentance of sin. To
prepare a way to a people eager to receive a people who would
have clear vision to recognise Jesus when He came. So when John
said, Look there He is There is the Lamb of God there is He
who takes away the sins of the world go to Him they would see
Jesus. Jesus my friends, came to save His people from their sins
and I say Alleluia ! I say to all of you who are coming to
Medjugorje for the first time while you are in Medjugorje go to the
Sacrament of confession.
Priests hearing confession in Medjugorje. Jesus wants to show us what we have been doing with our life that
is not in conformity with the light of Christ. He wants to be your
Light to a world to a people who are in very much need of His
Light Today. This light my friends will shine in your heart if we
really seek Jesus and His way. His Mother echoes His words
when she says, My first wish is to be with you and to lead you
because you belong to me and My Son Jesus. Her second wish
is that we all be converted She is calling us all to this confession
it is a big call for some and it requires big changes in our
lifestyle because It is conversion it is simply a request to get
our act together and return to Her Son Jesus. Our Lady chose
Medjugorje to get in touch with the Church and the whole world.
The children who first saw her were nearly lost when they tried to
tell people what they had seen. Nobody at first believed later on it
was a different picture. To the unfaithful people Heaven was
starting to talk through the apparitions and the many
miracles. The sun was turning into a shining mass that moved
towards the crowds as if it would consume them all and some
people were afraid.
Then the people started listening to the children with their hearts
the children didn’t say anything special except that they saw
our Lady and She blessed them this is how the first days
passed. Many miracles of nature invited many people to come
and see.
The people started spreading Our Lady’s messages to pray and
they intensified prayer in their own homes. Our lady let us
experience something that was very new we felt an immense well
from deep in our hearts that prayer was pouring out into the whole
world giving Love Joy Happiness, and Peace.
Its Teachings, its messages, its calls to us all had begun.

Chapter 3
One of Our Lady’s most powerful messages was given by Her on
Oct 25th 1987 This is this message in full My dear children, today
I wish to invite all of you to decide for paradise. The way is
difficult for those who have not decided for God. Dear children
decide and believe that God is offering Himself to you in His
fullness. You are invited and you need to answer the call of the
Father who is calling you through me. Pray because in prayer each
one of you will be able to achieve complete Love. I am blessing
you and I desire to help you so each one of you might be under my
Motherly mantle. Thank you for your response to my call. After
this message I was personally struck by Our Lady’s salutation
“ My Dear Children “ This is the first time she has used “ My
Dear Children” I found this very touching.
This message has a warmth about it especially with the word
about the mantle. This shows Our Lady’s care and concern for
each and everyone of us in a very special way in this message. And if we think of the line in the message, I am blessing you and
I desire to help you so that each one of you might be under my
Motherly mantel.
You see it is “ My Dear Children “ I want you all under my
Motherly mantel. This huge protective mantel “ The Refuge of
Christians the New Eve who wants to bring us all alive in Her
Son Jesus. If we look at the beginning of this message She says
Today I wish to invite each one of you to decide for paradise. We must all accept that we are in exile we must all accept this fact
We are Not in paradise no matter how good you may think you
have it We are all in exile. Home my friends is paradise what
God created for us to be in His image to be free from all sin
and death. ( Which we all lost through the sin of Adam & Eve ) This my friends is what we are all Deciding for. Our Lady as the
new Eve she knows all about paradise for as soon as Adam and
eve lost paradise, She came onto the scene. I will put enmity
between you and the woman She is the Woman, She is to open
paradise for us all, by bearing the one who will crush Satan’s
power. We must never forget this and were not there yet it takes a
decision Deciding for paradise also means deciding to live for
the Kingdom of God, seek first the Kingdom of God.
The way is difficult for those who have not decided for the
Kingdom of God, for the Kingdom, for Paradise.
Philip Illsley with the visionary Mirjana in Medjugorje. Praying with the Heart means deciding to do it to commit to it
and letting Jesus take care of it. It is in prayer in this deciding
that we can all truly exercise Love, God’s Love in our lives.
That Our mother calls “ Complete” The Seat of Wisdom is
speaking to all Her Children She is sent by The Father to
speak to us and this message is again one of Her Heart
Messages Full Of Love because She Loves us all
IMMEASURABLY !
With these words “ My Dear Children “ She wants to repeat to
all of us that She is the Mother of us all, This is the conformation
of the 2nd Vatican Council That She was declared Mother of
the Church and the Mother of us all. Vicka the visionary in
answering a question of how she would prefer to address Mary
said, “ Mother “ because when you look at Her you have the
impression She wants to embrace the whole world and
everybody.
Philip Illsley with the guide Ivanka in Medjugorje
Our Mother told the parish to meditate on the passage of the
Gospel of Mathew 6:24-34 In this there are three important
points
1) Jesus says you cannot serve two Masters. 2) Why have
fearful worries. 3) With your worries you cannot make
your life better or longer, but search for the Kingdom of
God and all the rest will be given to you.
Mary our Mother invites us to surrender to God Everything, and
practice this every day Mary Our Mother Loves Us just the way
we are. Here in Medjugorje or wherever we are She says
“ Immeasurably So “
Philip Illsley. To all who are joining us on this great

Our Lady’s message’s from Medjugorje words

Its message’s Its teachings Its call to all of us.
By Philip Illsley. Chapter 4
www.holyishisname.co.uk
On the third day of the apparitions Our Lady came and said, Peace
be reconciled Peace this is Our Lady’s intention throughout
these last 35 years, She wants to help us to find Peace. But we
must all understand Peace in the biblical sense Peace means Peace
with God reconciliation with God. After we have this peace with
God then we begin to have peace with others. Who of us my friends can say My Peace is complete? My Peace
with God is complete, My peace with others is complete, If we
remain in our sin, our selfishness, our pride, Then Peace will
never come to us, we will all realise then this is the only way to
find Peace. Jesus He died on the Cross for us without conditions.
He did not say will you please convert and after that I shall love
you. He died for us out of love because He loved us all without
conditions.
Our Lady calls us to Prayer every day at Medjugorje,and asked the
parish to pray daily, The Creed and seven Our Fathers, Hail
Mary’s, and Glory Be’s. Then on the 14th
August 1984 She
asked the whole parish to pray, The whole Rosary the Joyful
Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries every day. She also invited
us to fast two days a week to participate in the Holy Mass daily
and to go to confession once a month, and to read the bible.
These are the 5 stones Our Lady gives to defeat Satan and all his
evil with these 5 stones we will overcome the power and of evil
evil and sin in our lives. We must use these 5 stones to keep
close to Jesus and His Blessed Mother.
Prayer in Our Lady’s life was to always search for God, to be close
to God, and close to Jesus. It is not so important how much time
we spend in prayer but to search for the Lord daily in every
situation every problem every concern every prayer. Our Lady
asks Don’t look at others and don’t slander them. But let your
life be a Testimony of the way to Holiness. There are always 3
parts present in Our Lady’s messages, Prayer, Fasting,
Conversion. Jesus did fasting so did Our lady and the Apostles
in the primitive Church.
Cross Mountain in Medjugorje.
During the centuries that have followed we seem to forget
fasting now our way is to only fast two days a year on Ash
Wednesday and Good Friday. Our Lady wants us to do so
twice a week every week! Fasting is very important to our
spiritual and physical well- being we will also discover it is not a
danger to our lives we will still live even if we fast.
Our Lady tells us, We can stop wars and prevent natural
disasters – Through Prayer and Fasting. This is the power we
have – But we must do them !
Our hearts are completely taken by material things, but through
fasting we receive a new freedom in our hearts a freedom from
material things, and an openness to prayer, we have become blind
because we have so many material things, and in the main we want
more, this is the reason we have conflict in families, and in the
world, conflicts don’t come because we are sharing our hearts. If
you begin to fast you will begin to see how many things you have
and you will discover that you don’t need many of them and this
is the beginning of a new peace and is an opportunity to give
and to share with others. Our Lady my friends, let God guide
Her even in Her most difficult moments. She was totally
abandoned to Jesus in every moment of her life. Through it all
it was “ Thy Will Be Done “ It is Vital we all begin to live these
messages and say Lord Thy Will be done, Take care of it.
In Oct 1999, I wrote this prayer which I have said
daily, a prayer for a clean heart and heavenly
wisdom, and this prayer has kept me on the right
road.
The Prayer for a clean heart and heavenly wisdom:
by Philip Illsley.
O God, strengthen me by the grace of your Holy Spirit make
me firm within my efforts to be Holy, empty my heart of all
unnecessary worry and anxiety, and do not let me be carried
away by desire of anything whatsoever whether worth having
or otherwise. Make me realise that all things are passing away
and that I too must follow them, give me Your heavenly
wisdom, to seek You, and find You, to love You, and
understand You, above all things. Fill me with the gift of You
Holy Spirit, to do Your work on earth, and bring many souls
with me to heaven. Amen Fiat.
My friends If we are to have a Holy Life, we must all ask God
Daily for a clean heart and heavenly wisdom and for the graces
to avoid sin and the wisdom that will reflect God’s Will within us
always.
Philip Illsley.
To all who are joining us on this great pilgrimage.

Jesus we surrender ourselves to You,
Take care of everything.
Our Lady’s messages from Medjugorje words of

Chapter 5
Your Pilgrimage to Medjugorje what does it mean to you. There is
a difference between a tourist and a pilgrim, a pilgrim is one who
has been called. Our Lady told the visionaries, I have called you
I have chosen you, I need you, You are important to Me. She
says these same words to every pilgrim who comes to
Medjugorje. Our Lady also calls us to prayer believe her because
each and everyone of us is so important to Her. The gift of prayer
is waiting to be born in you this is a great gift from God.
Just as spring touches all trees and causes them to bloom, so
prayer is the spring of the Christian Life. The body breathes
when it is alive when dead it doesn’t breathe the soul breathes
when it is praying, a Christian who prays is alive! A Christian
who does not pray is dead. God, my friends want us all to be
Holy, God wants to make us all holy. Our Lady says, God
wants to make you holy and therefore through me, He is
inviting you to complete surrender. What does complete
surrender mean ? It means to let go hand over everything to
God. Our Lady said in Medjugorje in Feb 1984: Pray It may seem
strange to you that I always speak of Prayer, Do not worry about
tomorrow be content with prayer. I Your Mother will take care
of the rest. Jesus her son also tells us leave the care of your
affairs to Me and everything will be peaceful. I say to you True
complete surrender to Me produces the effect that you desire
and resolves all difficult situations. Do You Pray every day for
the grace of holiness. If not it could be that we do not truly
understand that holiness is a great gift of God Himself. Our
pilgrimage is a pilgrimage of prayer which will consume the rest
of our days here on earth if we all ask Our blessed lady to Lead us
and to guide us in all that we say and do and if we call upon Her to
be with us then this journey of our pilgrimage, none of us will
wander because She shall always be our Guide.
When we leave Medjugorje we must not leave Our Mother
behind we must let Her be the Mother of our families, the
Mother of our parishes, the Mother of our communities, The
Mother of our Nation, but the most important thing is to take
Our Lady Home with us.
“ Am I Not Here who am Your Mother” This is the main message of Medjugorje, This is the same message
she gave to Juan Diego on the hill of Tepyac, near Mexico City on
Dec 1521. Mary is with us here in Medjugorje her presence is
within us especially when we pray. We should ask her to teach
us how to pray with our hearts not just with words.
The plain of Medjugorje is surrounded by beautiful hills and
mountains, this is how it got its name “ Mid Hills” between the
mountains. Two mountains now dominate the area, The hill of
the Cross and the hill of apparitions. The hill of the Cross
Krizevac is so called because in the Holy year of 1933 the 19th
centenary of Redemption the villagers built a 40 ft concrete cross
on its summit. Only when one sees the treacherously steep and
rocky paths these people had to climb and carry all the
necessary materials to build this cross does one appreciate
their sacrificial faith.
Cross Mountain in Medjugorje
Facing the hill of the cross on the left is the smaller hill of the
original apparitions (Podbrdo) There the paths are steep and rocky
but the view is awe-inspiring and below the plain with is the twin
spired church of St James. Mary our Mother identified herself to
the six young children as the Queen of Peace. People
frequently ask me what I think of Medjugorje. My answer is
always the same that it is the nearest place to Heaven that we
will find in this cold an hostile world. When I first stepped off
the bus in front of the Church of St James, and walked up to
be with the people in the front of the over-crowed Church. I
new that there was something so very special happening in this
place. Here I found a people who radiated in the way they live
that they truly believe in Jesus for they live His Way of Love.
They maintain this daily conversion through a great return to
Church, gathering each evening for 3 hours of prayer, rosary,
Eucharist, homily, healing prayers and adoration, they fast on
bread and water and empty themselves to God.
Vicka The visionary in Medjugorje
I have known this wonderful lady for many years now, Vicka
offers her life and her illness to the world for souls, she is a
victim soul, When I first met her and her husband Mario my heart
burst with Joy at this lady who suffers greatly but always has such
a wonderful smile on her face, she is vibrant, she is the most joyful
person in Medjugorje, she will talk and pray with the pilgrims
incessantly even though she should be resting with her illness, the
severe spinal problems she has and the many operations. I know
personally how painful her spinal problems are because my son
Chris has similar back problems and how much pain he has
suffered. But through all this pain and suffering she never
looses that wonderful smile, she has the Love of God insider
her and this radiates to all whom she approaches. Medjugorje is an oasis of Love God’s Love in the desert of this
world without Love. Medjugorje is like the Vestibules of Heaven
where we must all praise God and make reparation for all the Evil
which is being committed in our world today, this world which he
created and which is the Great Temple of God.
Love God my friends and Love His Blessed Mother because
then we will all learn to Love one another. Because Love Pays
for everything. God the Father, tells us that great sins great
inequities can be expiated forgiven by our acts of love
kindness, compassion, and mercy given to all whom we
approach. Love is the answer but there is No Love without
God because God is love, love console’s and repairs, love
triumph’s over all evil this is the power of love. If we would
only sow love what a different place this world would be try to
be strong in love and generous in love. Because love pays
for EVERYTHING.
Philip Illsley.
And I look forward to meeting you all on this great
pilgrimage.

how things have changed from those early days.

Chapter 6
The Most important apparition ever in my view is without doubt
Medjugorje. Why do I say this is the most important apparition
of them all. Because Our Blessed Lady has told us that when
these apparitions end She will Not come to this earth again
This is the Last One !! And this is the last chance for all
mankind to do what Our Lady and Our Mother asks. And No apparition has ever lasted over 35 years. But Medjugorje
since the beginning of 1981 has suffered radical opposition from
within the Church and the Communist Government at the time and
the local bishop. This conflict against Medjugorje has not
ceased in spite of the personal approval of Pope John 2nd
–
Now St John Paul 2nd
; and all the fruits and values that come
from this truly amazing place of peace, of love, of Prayer.
All six visionaries are now married. Three of them continue
with daily apparitions usually at 18;40 BST. It is only Vicka,
Marija, and Ivan that see our Lady now on a daily basis. They
are all invited to spread the messages Mary has given them
since June 1981.
Early picture of the visionaries; from left to right;
Vicka, Jackov, Marjana, Jelena, Marija and Ivan. Mary Our Mother has spoken to them about future events 10
of which are to be announced 3 days before they happen.
They already know these dates, Mary says that when these
apparitions finish, She will Leave a permanent sign on the hill of
apparitions that we can see both night and day but we cannot
touch it and it will remain there until the end of the world. She
says; Do not wait for the sign to convert because for many it
will be to late. The Bishop of Mostar, Bishop Pavo Zanic the local
bishop of the area after giving his support to the testimony of the
six visionaries at the beginning of the apparitions. He then
suddenly changed his mind.
Many people believe he changed his mind because the parish
priest at the time in Medjugorje Fr Jozo Zovko was arrested by
the secret police and was sentenced to 3 years hard labour in
one of their labour camps and it was only western pressure
that got him released. This was the time that Bishop Zanic,
began to change his mind and deny their authenticity. Bishop
Zanic was entrusted by Rome as the local Bishop with the
commission of inquiry into Medjugorje.
Fr Jozo Zovko, The Parish priest at Medjugorje at the time of the
apparitions.
In 1986 Bishop Zanic submitted to Cardinal Ratzinger in
Rome a negative judgement on Medjugorje. But Cardinal
Ratzinger he rejected these negative conclusions. This is
without precedent in the history of the Catholic Church and in
the history of apparitions. The local Bishop Zanic was then
relieved of this negative judgement on Medjugorje by Rome
and they dissolved Bishop Zanic’s Commission. Rome then
put this into the hands of the Yugoslavian Episcopal
Conference led by Bishop Komarica.
Fr Slavko and Cardinal Ratzinger in Medjugorje. This important judgement by Rome has received little or no press
throughout the Catholic world. And many Catholics and many
Catholic clergy have no idea that this important judgement by
Rome on Medjugorje ever happened. If Rome had accepted
Bishop Zanic’s negative judgement on Medjugorje the
unbiased and negative press throughout the world would have
had a field day all denouncing Medjugorje.
On the 11th
April 1991 in Zadar, The Episcopal Conference
set up by Cardinal Ratzinger “ Accepted Medjugorje” as a
place of worship and prayer. This is a Big Yes for Medjugorje
and still many Catholics are not aware of this. On August 28th
1991 Cardinal Ratzinger stated: We want to be concerned that
Medjugorje which has become a place of prayer and faith
Remain and come to be even more in the most interior unity
within the entire Church. This signifies that at present it is not
yet possible to declare the Supernatural reality of Medjugorje but
that such a possibility remains open for the future. Cardinal Ratzinger, On becoming Pope Benedict 16
th He set up
a Commission of Cardinals to report on Medjugorje.
This Commission is to report, On the Phenomena of
Medjugorje and this Commission is expected to report quite
soon. I have had the privilege of leading the Welsh Pilgrimage
to Medjugorje and have been there 50 times. Each of my visits
has been very memorable on my own journey of faith. We are
sometimes called a pilgrimage people because we are all
travelling along the road of life to our destination with God
Our Father. There have been many graces and blessings received
by many who have joined our pilgrimage. Many have received
experiences of inner peace and tranquillity many a feeling of
belonging cleansing and healing few people leave Medjugorje
without experiencing Spiritual Renewal and many report dramatic
changes in their own life. My own encounter with medjugorje
its villagers its visionaries and its pilgrims, has been uplifting
and grace filled. I have savoured its wonderful fruits and
values and I have been changed for the better. If I were to say
which words summarise this wonderful place of prayer and
faith it would be These words from Psalm 34.8 “ Taste and
see that the Lord is Good “. Mathew 7.20 “ By their fruits you
will know them” Because my friends the Fruits of Medjugorje
can no longer be ignored:
Fr In JULY 2001; I brought Slavko Barbaric To Cardiff .
It had taken me three visits to our then Archbishop of Cardiff
Archbishop Ward to get his permission to bring him to St Peters
Church in Cardiff.
We had a fantastic turnout and his Talk on Medjugorje was
very powerful. His visit to Cardiff was very providential
because he died on cross mountain in Medjugorje on the 24th
Nov 2001. His funeral in Medjugorje attracted many priests
and pilgrims from all over the world. Fr Slavko died on the
24th
Nov 2001 on the next day the 25th
of the month came our
lady’s monthly message for the whole world:
Her first words were I am pleased to tell you Bro Slavko has
been born again into Heaven. When he came to Cardiff he gave
me the 1st book he wrote called “ Open your hearts to Mary the
Queen of Peace” In this great book my friends on page 14 The
Chapter is headed “ The Century of Satan” This chapter is about
a vision that Marjana had on the 14th April 1982.
Fr Slavko With Mother Theresa of Calcutta Now St Theresa of Calcutta.
This Chapter “ The Century of Satan” is all about a vision of
Marjana on the 14th April 1982 Whilst she was waiting for Our
Blessed Lady to appear Satan arrived disguised as Our Lady
Marjana, said I almost fainted, he said you must leave God
and Our Lady they will make you suffer I will make you happy
in love and in life Marjana, My heart said No No Then Satan
went away – Then Our Lady came – She said Marjana – You
must know Satan exists.
He asked God to test the Church for a certain period of Time
with the intention of destroying the Church.
God allowed him one century saying, You will not destroy her,
Mary said this century in which we are now living is under
Satans power, And when these secrets Marjana I have
confided to you come about – HIS POWER Will be destroyed!

Fr Petar is the priest chosen by Marjana to reveal the secrets
given her by Mary to the whole world. The Welsh Pilgrimage
to Medjugorje was in Medjugorje for the 33rd anniversary of
the apparitions on the 24th
June 2014. We were very blessed that
our guide Slavista was able to get Fr Petar Ljubicic to come to
our hotel and talk to our group on Friday 29th
June 2014 at
1.30pm Fr Petar is the priest chosen by Marjana to reveal her
secrets to the whole world. I was really amazed that Fr Petar
told our group that the second secret at Medjugorje is the
“Warning” and that the 3rd
secret is the permanent sign that
Our Lady said she would leave on apparition hill when these
apparitions finish at Medjugorje.
So all will believe. It was a very inspiring Talk and his blessing
for us all was one we will never forget.
I Urge You all my friends today who will read this to
wake up to what is happening in the world today.
To all of us to Open Our Eyes and to believe, to
listen, and to Live our Lady’s messages and
warnings because they are warnings and message
FULL of LOVE.
By Philip Illsley.
To all who are joining us on this great Pilgrimage.
I look forward to meeting you all.
