I wait for you at heaven ... |
On Sunday, August 6, 1995, more than 100 thousand pilgrims gathered on mount Zvir to mark the fifth anniversary of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary. Shortly after one o'clock, Father Vladimir Sedlacek approach the microphone. His quiet and serious voice, inviting the attendees to a prayer, made it clear that the words to follow would be profoundly significant and serious. During the silence that had accompanied the monthly meetings between two girls and Our Lady over the past year, many people already sensed that this moment was extraordinary, especially when, after the Rosary, it was a priest's voice they heard instead of the girls. Many people during the silence, which over the past year accompanied monthly meeting both girls with Our Lady, already knew that this moment is unusual, especially when after Rosary they heard the voice of a priest instead of girls. |
On both girls were shown seriousness of this moment. |

Katka addressed the pilgrims with following words: Glory to Jesus Christ. I would like to share with you that this morning before we came to this mountain, Ivetka and I prayed together so that you could receive and accept this message. We prayed that the God would be present in each of you. Today, Our Lady appeared entirely dressed in the white. She wore no crown, no rosary, and no shoes. She was very serious. I want to tell you that she remains here, on this mountain. She will always be here to help each one of you. |

There was a profound silence as Ivetka took the microphone in her hand and conveyed the message of the Virgin Mary: “Glory to Jesus Christ! Our Lady said today: My dear children, this revelation is my last. I love you... and I thank you all for what you have done for me here... My beloved children! I wanted this to happen, to wake you up from the dream of emptiness, so you may understand the need for conversion. In this time, conversion is essential! Please, I beg you. I will remain on this mountain. Reflect on my messages! Stay in my heart during this time! Stay, for you must become more vigilant and simple... The time that is coming has already begun. Remain like children - completely free for God. Please, take my words to heart! I love you and, await for you in heaven…”

Crying began on Mount Zvir - the heartfelt tears of Mary's children who, perhaps for the first time began to understand that their Heavenly Mother truly loves them. Her patience was boundless and with this step, she awakened within their hearts a deep longing to choose God. Though everyone knew this moment would come, it arrived like lighting from a clear blue sky. The words of the mother has ended, words of love so profound that their greatness exceeded all human imagination. After a biref moment of tearful silence, Ivetka spoke: “I still want to tell you something… When I stood here on the first Sundays and announced the messages I sometimes felt as though these words didn't truly reach us, as if they failed to penetrate our hearts. So I prayed fervently for the conversion - first for myself and then for all of you. During those five years, Our Lady was mostly serious. I think it's because although we prayed here - and that is good - when we returned home, our life often stayed the same. The Virgin Mary wanted us to change. She wanted us to truly convert. If she came here, it means this is really serious. So we must convert, especially in love. Please let us convert, because if we don't, the time ahead will be very difficult. I know that those who love God need no explanation. Now, as we feel pain in our hearts, we can offer it as a sacrifice - for conversion of this world. Our Lady always loves us and remains with us, constantly inviting us to convert. I believe she is pleased with the sacrifices you've made today. Please, let us decide together to convert. The time ahead will be very serious if we don't act. If we can stop looking outwards and instead say: |
“God, convert me because I want it to be no longer I who live, but Jesus who lives in me,” |
Then we will be able to bring about change in our surroundings. But we must begin with ourselves. We cannot expect anyone else to change unless we start within. On behalf of the Virgin Mary, Thank you for coming |
This meeting has been very valuable to me. Overall these five years I have felt that the Virgin Mary chose us as her instrument. I know I haven't always lived the way I should, but I know that Our Lady wants me to bring myself closer to Jesus. She is working to unite our hearts with His. It is not enough that the Virgin Mary appears in this little cottage. It's not enough to me, to see her across from me. It will never be enough until she is within me - inside my heart. This apparition was especially meaningful to me because Virgin Mary said: Touch the foot that will crush the serpent.” So I did. That moment was very special to me” (Ivetka then kissed Virgin Mary’s foot) |
She continued: |
We are here in this beautiful natural setting , surrounded by mountains. Tt is wonderful that we can all be united with God, our father. Now I will once again read the words of the Virgin Mary. Please do not leave yet. Try, to hear them with love and with a sincere desire for conversion. Then Ivetka read the final message again. It was a message so heavy, so difficult to bear, yet filled with hope. |
Afterward she added: Now let us pray together. Let us say: |
Hail Mary... and pray: Our Lady reside fully within us and grant us the grace of conversion. |
The Virgin Mary will continue to assist all who come to Mount Zvir |
Although we cannot see her, she remains ever present on this mountain. |
