Jakov Colo, the youngest of the six Medjugorje visionaries, recently spoke to pilgrims from all over the world gathered in Medjugorje. Jakov shared and witnessed to the pilgrims what he has learned from Our Lady in these past 33 years. During part of his talk, he spoke about the beginning of the apparitions.
“When the apparitions started in
Medjugorje, I was ten years old. I am the youngest of six of them, and
my life before the apparition was a life of an ordinary kid, and that
was the way my faith was like. Simple faith, faith of a child. What they
were trying to teach me, my parents, and they been trying to teach me
was that God exists, that Our Lady exists, that I should pray, that I go
to Mass, that I should be good and behave myself. I always remember the
prayer in my family. But never, through that prayer, did I pray for the
gift to be able to see Our Lady. I knew that Our Lady exists and that
God exists, but I never knew that Our Lady could appear at all, but
everything changed on the 25th of June, back in 1981. Now I can say
that that day was the most beautiful day of my life. That is the day
when God gave me an enormous gift, to be able to see Our Lady. I gladly
recall that first meeting with Our Lady. When we came up the Hill of
the Apparitions, and when we knelt before Her for the first time, what
was most beautiful, was at that moment for myself were the eyes of Our
Lady. I saw so much love and goodness in Our Lady’s eyes and, at the
same time, I felt all that in my heart. I felt loved. I felt protected.
It was a moment when for the first time in my life I felt true peace,
true joy. And when for the first time in my life I accepted and started
loving Our Lady as my mother.”
-Medjugorje visionary Jakov Colo
Jakov, was the youngest of the six visionaries to see
Our Lady, being barely 10 years old. His experience was one in which
Our Lady called him to witness Her love. In Jakov's testimony above, he
relates that his experience in seeing Our Lady, was that he felt loved.
This is truly the Heavenly Mother Who is coming to us in this time, to
give many the love that is longed for. Unfortunately, so many in the
world have not experienced the true love of a mother in their home, and
so Our Lady is here to speak to us, to give us that love, and to teach
us. In Jakov's last daily apparition of Our Lady on September 12, 1998
Our Lady told him:
"Dear child! I
am your Mother and I love you unconditionally. From today I will not
be appearing to you every day, but only on Christmas, the birthday of
my Son. Do not be sad, because as a Mother I will always be with you
and like every true mother I will never leave you. And continue
further to follow the way of my Son, the way of peace and love and try
to persevere in the mission that I have confided to you. Be an example of that man
who has known God and God’s love. Let people always see in you an
example of how God acts on people and how God acts through them. I
bless you with my Motherly blessing and I thank you for having responded
to my call."
