Reinforcing the call to pray for world peace from September 16 in Turin, on September 19 the Virgin Mary asked for prayers for the leaders of the world. Visionary Ivan Dragicevic received the renewed call before 2,000 people in Villa D’Adige, Italy, where many came from earthquake areas.
Ivan’s apparition on September 19 in Rovigo, Italy
Leaders of the world need the prayers of ordinary people to use their power in the service of peace, the Virgin Mary told Medjugorje seer Ivan Dragcievic on September 19 when more than 2,000 watched Ivan’s apparition in Villa D’Adige, Italy.
“Dear children, today in a special way I want to call you to pray for all the rulers, that they may promote peace and work for the good of man with the power that God has given them. I wish, dear children, that they, too, may be an instrument in my hands. Dear children, pray especially for life. Thank you, dear children, because also today you have responded to my call” the Virgin Mary said.
The message was approved of by Ivan’s friend and translator Krizan Brekalo, and passed on by Medjugorje photographer Daniel Miot at his website guardacon.me. The appeal came three days after the Virgin Mary had called to prayer for peace, in an unusually strong message given to Ivan on September 16 in Turin. The message was all about prayer for peace, a call that was repeated five times.
Ivan addressing the more crowd in Villa D’Adige
Some of the attendees in Villa D’Adige were visibly moved at seeing Ivan have his 6 minutes long apparition, the local newspaper Rovigo Oggi further reports from the meeting. Many among them came from the area recently affected by an earthquake, such as Bologna, Ferrara, Emilia Mirandola, and San Felice sul Panaro, the regional newspaper Il Gazzettino adds.
Ivan spoke in Villa D’Adige with the admission from Bishop Giuseppe Zenti of Verona. He joined the growing ranks of Italian bishops who have welcomed talks and public apparitions of Medjugorje visionaries in their diocese.
