The visionary Ivanka Ivankovic-Elez had her regular annual apparition on June 25th 2022. At her last daily apparition on May 7, 1985, Our Lady confided to Ivanka the 10th secret and told her that she would have an apparition once a year on the anniversary of the apparitions. It was that way also this year.
The apparition, which lasted 5 minutes (18:34h - 18:39h), took place at Ivanka’s family home. Only Ivanka’s family was present at the apparition. After the apparition, Ivanka said:
Our Lady gave the following message: "Little children, pray, pray, pray."
Our Lady blessed us all.

Under the rays of the Easter sun, Jesus, together with His own, breaks our burdensome tombstones and introduces us to a new life. He breaks what is weak and tired in our life, what is stuck in it, what is in it without life and love. He breaks the tombstones of our loneliness and guilt and introduces us into the breadth of his Easter love.
In the spirit of this and such love of Christ and His immeasurable mercy, I wish all of us a happy and saving Easter!

“And from this place of grace we return able to maintain the view that Mary brings us back to Jesus here. Let us return to our homes with this task: here I have learned to see the sign. I saw Jesus through Mary’s eyes because my eyes were unclean. My mind was wounded. My heart was heavy, but with Mary I jumped towards God”.
