Chat with Vicka


Vicka IvankovicThe following is an edited transcript of a talk Vicka gave to Pilgrims visiting her home in Medjugorje in early October, 1998. In the interest of keeping the flavor and the intent intact, there has been no editing of the vocabulary or syntax used as Vicka's comments were translated into English as she spoke.

Translator: "Vicka would like to greet all of you. We are going to start our meeting together with one Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be. And Vicka would like to share to you all messages Our Lady is giving to us."

The main messages which Our Lady is giving to all of us are prayer, peace and conversion, confession and fasting. And also Our Lady commands to us to pray every day all three parts of the Holy Rosary. And also she commands to us to fast on Wednesdays and Fridays on bread and water. And most important thing that Our Lady is asking from us is to pray for our strong, firm faith.

When Our Lady is asking from us to pray, she doesn't ask for us to pray not only with words, not only with the lips. But, Our Lady is also asking from us to pray from the heart. To open our heart day by day so that the prayer can be become joy for us. And Our Lady gave us a very beautiful example and she says: "All of you back home, you have the pot with the flower. You will see if you are pouring water into the flower day by day, after a few days that flower is going to become a beautiful rose. And the same thing is going to happen with our heart. If you put few words of pray every day into our heart, our heart is going to blossom the same way as that flower. And you will see if you stop watering that flower with the water, within a few days that flower is going to disappear." And Our Lady emphasizes how many times we are postponing our prayers because today I'm tired, tomorrow I have something else to do. And what is happening with us as we are putting far away our prayers, day by day you will see that all negative influences will enter into our heart. And Our Lady says that the same way as one flower can not be without water, the human heart can not be without the grace of God. And also Our Lady says to us that prayer with the heart we can not study, we have to learn it and live it day by day so we can go always one step ahead.

When Our Lady is talking about fasting, she doesn't ask from the people who are sick to fast on bread and water, but she asking from them to maybe give up something a little bit just to make a little sacrifice. And for the people who are really healthy and are having difficulty fasting on bread and water, she says that that is because we are missing strong, firm faith. If we are doing that fasting towards love towards Our Lady and God, we are not going to have any difficulties, so what is missing is our strong firm faith.

Our Lady wants us to be completely converted and she says: "Dear Children, all of you when you have certain problems or certain disease. All of you think that Jesus and I are very far away from you." But, our Lady emphasizes how wrong we are because they are very close to us. "But, you have to open up your hearts and then you are able to see how much we love you." And also Our Lady wants us to do little sacrifices. But, Our Lady would be pleased in a very special way if we will stop committing sins. And Our Lady says: "I am giving you my love and my peace so that you can carry that peace back to your family and friends." And she is giving her blessing to all of us and she prays for all of us.

Our Lady emphasizes how she is happy when we are praying together the rosary in our families and our communities. But, in a very special way she is pleased when the children are praying with the parents and the parents with the children. Because when we are united in that way in the prayer then Satan can not harm us. And Our Lady emphasizes how Satan is always trying to disturb us. And he wants to disturb our peace and our prayers. And Our Lady commands to us to pray more. And the best weapon against Satan would be the rosary in your hand. And Our Lady commands also to us to always have something blessed.. little medal or crucifix so that we can protect ourselves and defend ourselves from Satan in every moment.

Our Lady commands to us to put Holy Mass in the first place in our life. She says that is the most important moment in our lives and the holiest moment as well. In that moment, Jesus is coming alive into our lives. and Our Lady wants us to receive Jesus without fear and with love and dignity.

Our Lady commands monthly confession and she says: "And you are not supposed to understand confession.. just see priests and get rid of your sins." But, you have to ask your priest as well so you can go one step ahead.

And also Our Lady is very concerned about young people in the world because young people in today's world, they live in a really dangerous and dramatic world. And the way we can help them is with our prayer with the heart. And she saying here: "Young people, what todays world is offering you is just temporary." And for that you can see how Satan is trying to take advantage of every free moment of .. our young people. And in a very special way, Satan is doing that to young people and trying to destroy our family.

Our Lady says, this is the time of great faith. She wants us to send her messages and to live her messages. And Our Lady wants us to be carriers of her peace so that we can pray for peace of the world. But, first of all, Our Lady is asking from us to pray for the peace in our hearts, the peace in our family and our community. And then together with that peace, we will be able to pray for peace in the world. Our Lady says if you are praying for the peace and at the same time you don't have that inner peace, then that prayer won't be that worthy to give to the Holy Father.

When Our Lady comes to me tonight, I'm going to command all of you, all your intentions and your petitions, but at the same time you have to open up you heart and present all your desires to Our Lady.

Translator: "There is one thing that Vicka would like to share with you and that's what heaven, hell and purgatory looks like."

It happened once at Jakov's house and they were having the apparition together and Our Lady came to them and said: "I am taking you with me now." And Jakov was scared because he thought they were not going to be back. So he suggested to Our Lady.. "Please dear Our Lady take Vicka because she has so many brothers and sisters, and leave me here." And at the same moment, I was thinking how it was going to be to go up and down. But, in the next moment Our Lady took my right hand and Jakov's left hand and took us up.

And in the next moment we were in the paradise and I saw this big endless space. There was a light that doesn't exist here on the earth. And I saw people in heaven walking around dressed in three colors; in gray, in pink, and in yellow. These people were singing, were praying and walking around and there were little angels floating above them. And Our Lady told them: "You see those people here they are so lucky and they are so happy and there is a kind of joy that does not exist on the earth and its impossible to describe how those people are happy."

Purgatory is also one big endless space. But, in purgatory it is not possible to see people/persons.. there is a kind of fog in purgatory. And it was possible to feel how these people in purgatory are suffering and they are waiting for our prayers so they can go out of purgatory.

And in hell there is a big fire. And there were people who were coming out of that hell fire and they didn't look like human beings, they looked more like animals. And Our Lady emphasizes that these people that were there, they came into hell by their own will.. by their own choice. And she says also that there are so many people that live this way of life.. a living hell on earth, that they just continue it when they come to hell. And Our Lady says that there are so many people that think when they finish their life here on earth, that's it and there is nothing more. But, Our Lady says they are very wrong because here on earth, we are just trespassers.
