12,000 welcome Ivan in Lebanon
By Jakob Marschner on Nov 15, 2012
Some had slept outside The Patriarchal Edifice of Bkerke when Medjugorje visionary Ivan Dragicevic opened his four days tour of Lebanon on November 15. The Virgin Mary asked attendees to pray for peace. Ivan’s apparitions in the next three days can be followed live on web-tv.

Medjugorje visionary Ivan Dragicevic was far from left alone on Thursday when his four day visit to Lebanon began. In Bkerke, 12,000 people started to arrive at The Patriarchal Edifice several hours before the event began at 6 pm local time, some having even slept outside the night before.
“I am on my way to Bkerke to see Ivan. You cannot believe, there is no place to park from Jounieh to Bkerke, many cars, buses, people are so excited, and all are wearing the rosary” attendee Mary Jabre reported to Medjugorje Today.

“12,000 chairs where there, and everyone was seated, so there was 12,000 people, sure as I saw” Mary Jabre told us after the event.
“The Virgin Mary said that she will pray for Lebanon and for the Lebanese. She said she gave her blessing to the Patriarch, and she blessed everyone. She thanked everyone for praying with her, and she asked to pray for peace and said that she is always with us.”

“Ivan said that Mary was very much happy during the apparition. She asked for peace and thanked her children. As a Lebanese I believe that is a very good sign” Paulette Maroun reports from Lebanon.
“People’s faith is growing more and more in their hearts, people were happy, clapping hands praying chanting even though they were freezing. Everyone was so happy” Mary Jabre reports.
Lasting just about five minutes, Ivan’s apparition took place on an altar under a massive dome of stained glass. Five giant screens were in place. After the apparition Maronite Cardinal Beshara Boutros El-Rahi, Patriarch of Antioch and all the East, arrived to preside over the subsequent Mass and Eucharistic Adoration.
While praying specifically over all the attending priests, the Virgin Mary paid special attention to the Patriarch:

“Ivan said that she came so close to the Patriarch and prayed over him in a special way” Paulette Maroun reports.
Ivan’s next three arrangements in Lebanon on November 16-18 will be transmitted live by Tele Lumiere, beginning at 6 pm local time (4 pm GMT, 11 am EST).
Join our Medjugorje pilgrimage, attend an apparition!
Mother Mary said at Fatima: "My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the sure way which will lead you to God." St. Thomas Aquinas said: "The things we love tell us who we are!" With that in mind, I will try to post each day something about Our Blessed Lady, items about the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and public domain Catholic books too! I pray you enjoy my ministry! Below are two albums of pictures that I created: 1. Our grand daughter Adrianna. 2. Tears of Mary!
