Interview with Visionary Vicka Ivanković
Excerpts taken from book: Krešimir Šego, “Time of Grace”, published by Ziral in Mostar,
Question : Have people responded to Our Lady’s messages, to her calls to conversion, prayer and penance?
Vicka: Once Our Lady said that there are a lot of people who accept a message, start living it and then they sort of get tired. But she would much prefer, she says, if we accepted a message with the heart and went a step forward without stopping. People accept everything all at once and then stop all at once.
We should accept the messages gradually, start living them and pray, and then we shall not become tired, if we, of course, accept them with the heart. This is a bit more difficult to explain to people.
If Our Lady says at this moment, “Pray three rosaries”, she does not mean that we should recite three rosaries the same moment. She first said, “Pray at least seven Our Fathers”, after seven Our Fathers she said, “Pray joyful mysteries”, but no hurry: today we shall do one mystery, tomorrow another, or today we shall live one Our Father, tomorrow another, etc. Then after half a year she said, “Pray sorrowful mysteries”, and in a year we shall pray glorious ones, etc. So, nothing was sudden. At this moment it may seem too much to people, but at that moment it was not much, everything was gradual.
Today, when I convey Our Lady’s message, that is after fifteen years, I can’t say, “You pray a decade today,” for I am obliged to report fully what Our Lady says.
