(ENGLISH)

"Dear children! Today I am calling you to live your new life with Jesus. May the Risen One give you strength to always be strong in the trials of life and to be faithful and persevering in prayer; because Jesus saved you by His wounds and by His Resurrection gave you new life. Pray, little children, and do not lose hope. May joy and peace be in your hearts and witness the joy that you are mine. I am with you and love you all with my motherly love. Thank you for having responded to my call."

“Draga djeco! Danas vas pozivam da s Isusom živite vaš novi život. Nek vam Uskrsli dadne snagu da u kušnjama života budete uvijek jaki i u molitvi odani i ustrajni jer vas je Isus svojim ranama spasio i uskrsnućem dao novi život. Molite, dječice, i ne gubite nadu. U vašim srcima nek bude radost i mir i svjedočite radost da ste moji. Ja sam s vama i sve vas ljubim mojom majčinskom ljubavlju. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mome pozivu. ”

humanity crossroads message

 Gospa, Our Lady's monthly message today, which is also the Solemnity of the Annunciation, and the day that Pope Francis consecrated the world, especially Ukraine and Russia, to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. 

Below are also the Ten Commandments (Deset Božjih zapovijedi ) from God that Our Lady refers to.

(ENGLISH) Our Lady, Gospa's message, March 25, 2022

“Dear children! I am listening to your cry and prayers for peace. For years, Satan has been fighting for war. That is why God sent me among you to guide you on the way of holiness, because humanity is at a crossroad. I am calling you to return to God and to God's Commandments that it may be good for you on earth, and that you may come out of this crisis into which you have entered because you are not listening to God who loves you and desires to save you and lead you to a new life. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

(HRVATSKI) Gospina poruka, 25. ožujak 2022
Draga djeco! Slušam vaš vapaj i molitve za mir. Sotona se godinama bori za rat. Zato me Bog poslao među vas da vas vodim na putu svetosti, jer čovječanstvo je na raskrižju. Pozivam vas vratite se Bogu i Božjim zapovijedima, da vam bude dobro na zemlji i da iziđete iz ove krize u koju ste ušli jer ne slušate Boga koji vas ljubi i želi vas spasiti i povesti u novi život. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mome pozivu.

(EN) the Ten Commandments
(HR) Deset Božjih zapovijedi

(ENGLISH)
I am the Lord your God. You shall not have strange gods before me. You shall not make to thyself any graven thing; nor the likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth. You shall not adore them nor serve them.
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.
Honor your father and your mother.
You shall not kill.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.


(HRVATSKI)
1. Ja sam Gospod, Bog tvoj, koji sam te izveo iz zemlje egipatske, iz kuće ropstva. Nemoj imati drugih bogova uz mene. 

2. Ne pravi sebi lika ni obličja bilo čega što je gore na nebu, ili dolje na zemlji, ili u vodama pod zemljom. Ne klanjaj im se niti im služi. Jer ja, Gospod, Bog tvoj, Bog sam ljubomoran. Kažnjavam grijeh otaca - onih koji me mrze - na djeci do trećeg i četvrtog koljena, a iskazujem milosrđe tisućama koji me ljube i vrše moje zapovjedi.

3. Ne uzimaj uzalud imena Gospoda, Boga svoga, jer Gospod ne oprašta onome koji uzalud izgovara ime njegovo.

4. Sjeti se da svetkuješ dan subotnji. Šest dana radi i obavljaj sav svoj posao. A sedmoga je dana subota, počinak posvećen Jahvi, Bogu tvojemu. Tada nikakva posla nemoj raditi: ni ti, ni sin tvoj, ni kći tvoja, ni sluga tvoj, ni sluškinja tvoja, ni živina tvoja, niti došljak koji se nađe unutar tvojih vrata. Ta i Jahve je šest dana stvarao nebo, zemlju i more i sve što je u njima, a sedmoga je dana počinuo. Stoga je Jahve blagoslovio i posvetio dan subotnji.

5. Poštuj oca svoga i majku svoju, da imadneš dug život na zemlji koju ti dâ Jahve, Bog tvoj.6. Ne ubij!7. Ne učini preljuba!8. Ne ukradi!9. Ne svjedoči lažno na bližnjega svoga!10. Ne poželi kuće bližnjega svoga! Ne poželi žene bližnjega svoga; ni sluge njegova, ni sluškinje njegove, ni vola njegova, ni magarca njegova, niti išta što je bližnjega tvoga!

Pray for them

 Gospa Our Lady, Queen of Peace, gave us this Medjugorje message  through visionary Marija, F briary 25, 2022:

(HR) Gospina poruka, 25. veljaca. 2022.

(ENGLISH)

Dear children! I am with you and we pray together. Help me with prayer, little children, that Satan may not prevail. His power of death, hatred and fear has visited the earth. Therefore, little children, return to God and to prayer, to fasting and renunciation, for all those who are downtrodden, poor and have no voice in this world without God. Little children, if you do not return to God and His Commandments, you do not have a future. That is why He sent me to you to guide you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

(HRVATSKI)

Draga djeco! S vama sam i molimo zajedno. Pomozite mi dječice molitvom da sotona ne prevlada. Njegova moć smrti, mržnje i straha, pohodila je Zemlju. Zato dječice vratite se Bogu i molitvi, postu i odricanju, za sve one koji su pogaženi, siromašni i nemaju glasa u ovom svijetu bez Boga. Dječice, ako se ne vratite Bogu i njegovim zapovijedima, nemate budućnosti. Zato je mene poslao vama da vas vodim. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mome pozivu.“

Each of us is necessary.”

obituary link: Helen Sarcevic obituary

Helen T. Sarcevic, 85, of Newton Township, died peacefully at her home on Sunday morning. Her husband, Joseph Sarcevic, preceded her in death in 2012.

Born in Brodjanci, Croatia, she was the daughter of the late Franjo and Reza Arambasic Gesler. She was the founder and guide of MIR-Peace pilgrimages and was a member of the Church of Saint Gregory.

Helen and her husband left their beloved homeland in 1957 to escape communist oppression. They were grateful to build a new life of freedom in the USA. Helen was a caring soul known for her artistry and unwavering faith. Her radiant smile and encompassing heart formed a far-reaching family of love.

Helen is survived by daughters Christina Verdgeline and husband Paul, Miriam Vukmanic and husband Richard, Darlene Milas and husband Frederik; grandchildren Adriana and Nikola Vukmanic and Antonia and Kristian Milas.

She was preceded in death by an infant son, Zvonko; and sisters Petrica, Zlata, and Marta.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday at 10 a.m. at St. Ann’s Basilica, 1233 St. Ann Street, Scranton, PA  18504, by Father Lee Havey, C.P.. Interment will be at PIETA Cemetery, Tunkhannock.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home and Cremation Services Inc., 418 S. State Street, Clarks Summit.

TESTIMONY: Rick Vukmanić:

On Sunday, February 6, 2022, our family lost one of its matriarchs, my mother-in-law, Jelka “Helen” Sarcevic. I use the term, matriarch, in the truest sense. Baka Jelka was a fierce, fearless, faithful daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and servant. Knowing hardship from an early age, the family moved from her ancestral village, in part due to the prejudice of the Yugoslav regime against her father’s German ancestors. Later, refusing to sign a prepared statement declaring herself an unbeliever, Jelka was denied her teaching certificate and instead worked on a road repair crew in Bosnia. After meeting and marrying my father-in-law, his undercover activities regarding human rights violations and atrocities committed by the Yugoslav government, led to threats of imprisonment. With no other choice, they traveled to Istria and walked across the border into Italy, at night, seeking political and religious asylum. During their five years in displaced person camps throughout Italy, Jelka was able to use her training as a teacher to organize classes for the children in the camps creating some sense of normalcy in their lives. She stood by my father-in-law’s side as his career took them far from the tight knit Croatian community of Cleveland to other parts of Ohio and northeastern Pennsylvania. Following a catastrophic car accident, which almost took my wife’s life, Jelka made a pact with the Virgin promising to dedicate her life to Mary’s service, if Miriam survived. Following Miriam’s recovery, Jelka spent several decades leading pilgrimages to Medjugorje, helping to spread the message of peace and conversion, and eventually using her skills to assist in the humanitarian effort in war torn Croatia.

It is fitting that her funeral will be held at the shrine of St. Ann, the patroness of her parish church in Brodjanci, on Friday, February 11, the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes.

May God be merciful to her soul, grant her eternal rest, and welcome His faithful servant into the joy of His presence. https://www.lawrenceeyoungfuneralhome.com/.../helen...

TESTIMONY Adriana Vukmanić

Early this morning, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s, my dear Baka Jelka Šarčević peacefully passed away. I have been trying to think of the words to describe her all day, but none of them can do her justice. 

If you knew my Baka, you know that she was a woman of great faith, an absolutely extraordinary person, and a true gift to this earth. From having to escape the communist regime in her homeland of Croatia on foot and starting a new life in the United States with one bag of personal belongings to her name, to leading hundreds, if not thousands, of pilgrims to Medjugorje, to organizing international relief efforts during the Homeland War in the Former Yugoslavia and personally delivering supplies during the peak of the violence and continuing the efforts long after the war ended, my Baka did it all and touched countless lives along the way.

But, most importantly, my Baka was the prime example of the light that is found at the inner core of every person when you take away all the needless earthly distractions that keep us from focusing on what is truly important in our lives. She found the good in every situation and reminded you that all will be well if you have faith and keep your trust in God’s plan.

Baka Jelka, you showed me what it means to have courage, to be kind, and to trust and follow God. I only hope that I can honor you by having even an ounce of the impact that you’ve had during your 85 years on this earth.

We will miss you dearly, but I know, without a doubt, you are in a better place with God, reunited with your loved ones, and filled with more happiness than anyone on earth could ever know. It is finally time for you to rest.

Baka Jelka, već nam nedostaješ ali znamo da si sada s Dedom i Bogom i da ćeš uvijek gledati na nas. Znaj da ću uvijek misliti na tebe i da nikada neću zaboraviti što si me naučila i koliko si nas volila. Počivaj u miru Božijem. Ti si to sto puta zaslužila.

Volim te puno Baka Jelka,

Tvoja Draga Jana

BOG i HRVATI "God and the Croatians"

“Dear children! Today I am calling you to return to personal prayer. Little children, do not forget that Satan is strong and that he wants to attract all the more souls to himself. That is why, you be vigilant in prayer and resolute in the good. I am with you and am blessing all of you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

„Draga djeco! Danas vas pozivam da se vratite osobnoj molitvi. Dječice, ne zaboravite da je sotona jak i da želi sebi privući što više duša. Zato vi budite budni u molitvi i odlučni u dobru. Ja sam s vama i sve vas blagoslivljam svojim majčinskim blagoslovom. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mome pozivu.“
