Do not refuse my love. Do not renounce salvation and eternal life for the sake of the transience and frivolity of this life. I am among you to lead you and, as a mother, to caution you. Come with me." Mirjana reported that Our Lady appeared with the sun shining behind her during the entire apparition. At the same time, thousands of onlookers also reported seeing what is commonly called the miracle of the sun, where a person can look directly at the sun without any discomfort. According to one eyewitness, "The sun was going forward and backward, and then we saw a cross which traveled from Blue Cross to Cross Mountain and started to change colors. Many saw this. It was chaos, some screamed, some cried." Message of July 25, 2009  “Dear children! May this time be a time of prayer for you.

Already for a long time I am giving you my Motherly heart and offering my Son to you. You are rejecting me. You are permitting sin to overcome you more and more. You are permitting it to master you and to take away your power of discernment. My poor children, look around you and look at the signs of the times. Do you think that you can do without God’s blessing? Do not permit darkness to envelop you. From the depth of your heart cry out for my Son. His Name disperses even the greatest darkness.

Thank you for having responded to my call.” Annual message to Mirjana on March 18, 2009 "Dear children! Today I call you to look into your hearts sincerely and for a long time. What will you see in them? Where is my Son in them and where is the desire to follow me to him? My children, may this time of renunciation be a time when you will ask yourself: “What does my God desire of me personally? What am I to do?” Pray, fast and have a heart full of mercy. Do not forget your shepherds. Pray that they may not get lost, that they may remain in my Son so as to be good shepherds to their flock." Our Lady looked at all those present and added: "Again I say to you, if you knew how much I love you, you would cry with happiness. Thank you." Monthly message to Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo on March 2, 2009 "Dear children! I am here among you. I am looking into your wounded and restless hearts. You have become lost, my children.

With a motherly heart, today I desire to remind you of—namely, to draw your attention to—God's immeasurable love and the patience which ensues from it. Your Father is sending me and is waiting.

Do not lose time, children, because you are not its masters. Thank you." Message of January 25, 2009 "Dear children! Also today I call you to prayer. May prayer be for you like the seed that you will put in my heart, which I will give over to my Son Jesus for you, for the salvation of your souls.

My children, decide for a new life with the name of my Son on your lips. Thank you.”
