According to Father Rene Laurentin, the foremost expert on Medjugorje, he said, "Self-destruction because of sin.

This is precisely the message of the 10 secrets which have not yet been divulged, but are destined to be so." And what is the content of those 10? The world will eventually receive three dramatic warnings, then a supernatural, permanent, and indestructible sign will appear on Apparition Hill.

The ninth and 10th secrets concern what humanity's sins will do to the world, and the devastating consequences that will follow.

Yet Our Lady also said that she has not come to announce our destruction or the end of the world, but that the world will change.

They will pray and fast for seven days, and three days before the event, the priest will announce what will happen and when.

The first three secrets will be warnings, calling humanity to conversion.

The fourth will be a supernatural, permanent, and indestructible sign on Apparition Hill, a confirmation of the apparitions, and a call to conversion and faith.

The final secrets concern serious chastisements resulting from the sins of the world, but the purpose of the secrets is not to provoke fear, curiosity, or speculation.

For people who do not believe, it will be too late.

Now the sign, according to the seers, will be left on Apparition Hill when the apparitions are over.

And they said it will be beautiful, permanent, indestructible, and will remain on the hill until the end of the world.

Now, mysteriously, it will also be too late for those who do not believe.

People were led to believe that they were following the science when it was anything but, even when presented with hard evidence.

Fear and social pressure and propaganda played an immense role in the psychosis.

So, if a miraculous sign is left on Apparition Hill, will those who have hardened themselves to truth blindly follow those who will explain away the miracle in mere scientific terms? Is this one reason why it would be too late for them? While we may not necessarily be standing at the gates of hell, we are certainly approaching the end of this time of mercy, this time of grace, as Our Lady often puts it.

In 2007, Medjugorje Sir Mirjana Dragicevic put it plainly, Our Lady said that this time in which we live is a time of decision.

And his foot ankle got completely healed.

And he did my creative X and, you know, Apparition Hill, everything else.

But it was powerful for him to see him, not me, I was kind of prompting him, but He was declaring the word of God over his own ankle and he saw it completely healed.

Oh my God.

He's a really fit athlete, but he could barely, I mean, he could barely hop.

That's how bad it was.

And then after that, he was, you know, he was gung-ho and everything from football to rugby to Apparition Hill, everything flowed from there.

Oh, that is a fantastic story.

And then on feast days and Sundays, they do move the Mass time for the English Mass to noon.

While you're there, you know, you can climb Apparition Hill.

So this is where the visionaries first encountered Our Lady.

At the base of the hill is a blue cross.

So in 1933, long before the eventual apparitions and visitations, the villagers had built a 30-foot high cross atop the mountain to commemorate Jesus' passion and death on the cross, because this was a very Catholic religious community long before it became a pilgrimage site.

So, you know, you can have the opportunity to climb the mountain, venerate that very cross, and while climbing, you know, you can pray the stations of the cross and mediate on Jesus' suffering from along the road to Calvary.

And then each evening, your group can join the villagers and fellow pilgrims of Medjugorje at either St. James Church or Apparition Hill to commemorate the time Our Lady appeared to the visionaries.

Then you can pray the rosary as you all await the specific time.
