1422.1 | Pls check - comment on "secret?" | WRKSYS::HOLT | | Tue Feb 04 1997 18:33 | 20 |

Dyan,
Could you please double-check for us on the wording of your base note?
I am referring to your statement that:
the 'secret' be told
on February 2.
A couple of the Medjugorje WWW sites do mention the monthly "opening
up" of Mirjana's visions to those at Medjugorje on the 2nd of each
month, and they also mention that everyone PLEASE pray for unbelievers
on the 2nd of each month.
They do NOT mention anything about the "secrets," though. And as you
can imagine, I would certainly want to know if something in this
area was beginning to change!
Thx and regards, Betsy

1422.2 | Feb 2nd event for 'unbelievers' only | POWDML::CICCONE | | Thu Feb 06 1997 09:30 | 30 |
| Betsy, thanks for prompting this confirmation because it needs to be
accurate. I made a few phone calls and here's what I found. The
friend who gave me this info received a fax from Sr. Emmanuelle who
lives in Medj. The letter stated that Mirjiana was frustrated because
the U.S. got the wrong interpretation of the Feb 2nd event - namely that
the 'secret' was a part of it. Mirjiana states that the Gospa did NOT
want us to be led into thinking that the secrets would be revealed
soon. The focus of Feb 2nd was strickly for the 'unbelievers'. She
continued to ask for us to 'pray' and not to think of the 'secrets'.
Caritas is usually very accurate. My friend is not sure who/how the
misinterpretation was made.
I have her checking the difference between the usage of 'normal apparition'
versus 'locution' btw, because Mirjiana was only receiving locutions
from Our Lady on the 2nd of each month. The 'changes' that are being
communicated is that she is having 'normal apparitions' alike Vicka,
Ivan, Jacov and Maria aside from the confirmed change that these prayer
sessions are now opened to the public. Sr. Emmanuelle also used the
term 'normal apparition'. So although she is an inside source for us,
I've asked to have this confirmed. I'll post this information as I
receive it.
Also, I phoned Caritas, listened to their recording. Apparently there was
an 'overwhelming' response to the prayer request. Not only were churches
opened for the 5:00am time as well as for the 3-4:00 holy hour, but also
many of the Priests are said to have participated.
Peace- Dyan

1422.3 | From "MIR" Medj. Info. Centre | DPPSYS::FYFET | I have much more to tell you... | Tue Feb 11 1997 07:45 | 42 |

I got this note from the Marian list regarding official Medjugorje
announcements.
peace,
tom
FYI, an urgent message from the "MIR" MEDJUGORJE INFORMATION CENTER, at the
SHRINE OF "THE QUEEN OF PEACE" IN MEDJUGORJE, see
http://alf.tel.hr/medjugorje/eobavjes.html. The next press bulletin should be
released tomorrow.
"TO ALL MEDJUGORJE GROUPS
By the establishment of the Medjugorje "MIR" Information Center in Medjugorje
we have become much more closely linked with the centers of prayer and peace
throughout the world. The Press Bulletin which comes out regularly every
second Wednesday publishes the most important events in the Shrine. Therefore
we would kindly ask all those who spread the messages of the Queen of Peace
and publish events of Medjugorje to consider the Medjugorje "MIR" Information
Center as the only source of official information. Should there be anything
new regarding the Medjugorje apparitions this Center will immediately make it
public. This way you will avoid spreading unapproved things. Whatever is
urgent we will immediately put on our www pages under the section
"Announcements". Likewise we will inform by e-mail all those whose addresses
we have.
We write in order to avoid the spreading of rumors like those that were
recently spread in a sensational way to many Medjugorje prayer groups and
caused much confusion and inconvenience.
Thank very much all for all you are doing for Our Lady.
Fr. Ivan Landeda, OFM Pastor"

| Tom, thanks for providing this information. In checking it out, I found
another internet 'bulletin' page also published by 'Informativni Centar
Mir' at: http://www.medjugorje.org/mpb36.htm. It's homepage is the
'Medjugorje Web' at http://www.medjurogje.org/index.html.
Re: .2, according to this source, Mirjana's monthly meeting with our
Lady is an 'apparition' and not 'locution' only.
