THE HEAVEN ON EARTH
By Inga Grasmane
I would like to tell you about most peaceful place in the Earth – Medjugorje. What is
Medjugorje? Medjugorje is a place in Bosnia and Hercogovina chosen by God in
which the Holy Virgin Mary has appeared daily for 32 years. It starts in 24 June 1981,
when the Blessed Virgin Mary has been appearing to six children from the village of
Medjugorje: Ivan, Jakov, Marija, Mirjana, Vicka, and Ivanka –”visionaries”. And since
this date Our Lady continues to give messages to them that they give messages to
the world.
She tells us that God has sent Her to our world, and these years she is spending
with us are a time of Grace granted by God. According to visionaries in Her own
words She tells us,
"I have come to tell the world that God exists. He is the
fullness of life, and to enjoy this fullness and peace, you must return to
God".
In addition to Her public messages, Our Lady give each of the six visionaries a total
of ten "secrets" or happenings that will occur on earth in the near future. Some of the
secrets pertain to the whole world while others concern the visionaries themselves
or the local village.
My acquaintance with this amazing
place was in October 2007, when I had
an opportunity to visit this place first
time. Before I heard about it a lot,
because my oldest sister and her
husband were there many times, also
they organised pilgrimage groups to go
there. First time we went there without
any expectance for a miracle or some
heavenly feelings we gone there as a
tourists. I went there with my daughter
