Saying yes to God gives me great joy. He made me a visionary to give hope to you, Medjugorje seer Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti said when her apparition was live-streamed from Notre Dame, IN, on November 15. Marija recommends consecration to Mary and cites good results from Sicily.

Everyone is free to say yes or no to God. But joy is only found in saying yes, Medjugorje visionary Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti told attendees at The University of Notre Dame, IN (USA) from where her 4.30 minutes long apparition on November 15 was live-streamed by Mary TV.
“For what reason has Our Lady come here? To say, “Get up! Give this testimony. I am God the Resurrection. I am the God who was crucified and died. But I am resurrected! I am with you, and I died for you. But I give you freedom. In this freedom you have a choice: Good or bad. I call you to goodness” Marija said.

“And Our Lady says “I call you to a new life. It is your choice. It is you choice to say yes or no” she continued.
“Today my testimony for everyone of you is that I said “yes” with all my life. (…) But what brought me here is this big joy in my heart. And I would like to tell you that I am so happy because, through Our Lady, God choose for me to be here with you and to say God is love. He chose me to be hope and joy for everyone of you” the visionary said.
For a yes to God through the Virgin Mary to be more complete and stronger, Marija recommended people to consecrate not only themselves, but also their families and the places they live to Mary’s Immaculate Heart. She told what happened when the Italian island of Sicily did so together:
Part of the crowd on the football stadium in Palermo, Sicily, when Marija had a public apparition on April 21. The Italian island was greatly blessed after it was solemnly consecrated to the Virgin Mary, the visionary told in Notre Dame
“Sicily decided to make a day for Our Lady, so all schools were closed, all people were asked to go to the sanctuaries of Sicily. And a priest asked Our Lady to consecrate Sicily, saying here are all these people, mayors, schools, saying to you we give you our hearts, our families, our nation” Marija said.
“During the apparition, Our Lady gave an answer to that prayer, and she said: “Not only you, but also your sons and sons of their sons will be blessed”. I was so surprised, Our Lady watched everyone present. How many graces this part of Italy received. Even today many of these people come to Medjugorje to give thanks for this day of Our Lady.”
Pope Benedict XVI
Marija further called Pope Benedict XVI “God’s Providence for us today”:
“Pope Benedict asks us for a year of faith. He would like to help us in this way for our own faith to grow. Pope Benedict XVI, really is God’s providence for us today, because we need to be strong. And he is like a general. So tough. We pray for him because he fed us through his Catechism which is really beautiful and deep” Marija said.
