Mary wants early days made known
During his public apparition on June 25, visionary Ivan Dragicevic felt the Virgin Mary wants people to be reminded of the first days of the apparitions in Medjugorje. At private apparition in his chapel earlier on June 25, the seer looked more radiant than ever, a trained observer noted.

The early days of the apparitions in Medjugorje was the main topic during both two of visionary Ivan Dragicevic’s conversations with the Virgin Mary on June 25, the 31st anniversary of the apparitions.
Last week Ivan told how the Virgin Mary prepared him for the anniversary by sharing memories of the early days, and Mary would like more people to know what happened on those days in June 1981, the seer told pilgrims on Monday.
“Ivan had a time of private conversation with Our Lady during which they discussed their memories of the first days. Ivan felt Our Lady wanted people to be reminded of the first days of her apparitions in Medjugorje” the website Medjugorje Miracles reports from Ivan’s public apparition, followed at 10 pm by thousands on top of Apparition Hill.

“Ivan told us that Our Lady came, very joyful and happy, dressed in a golden dress, and that the major portion of the apparition was a private conversation between them. Our Lady and Ivan spoke of their memories of the first days” MaryTV message commentator Cathy Nolan tells of Ivan’s early apparition on June 25 when she was present in the seer’s private chapel.
MaryTV president and long-time Medjugorje documentarist Denis Nolan said Ivan was more glowing than he had seen before:
“Denis was able to see Ivan’s face from where he knelt, and he said that he has never seen Ivan so filled with joy and radiant” Cathy Nolan tells in her daily reflection.
“Ivan said that it is difficult to put into words the love that Our Lady shows for her children. When he watched Our Lady look from left to right over the crowd of people in his chapel, it looked as if she were crying, but the tears were tears of deep love” Medjugorje Miracles writes of the same apparition.
