Following is Ivan’s description of the apparition of August 17, 2012:

“Tonight, as every day after meeting with Our Lady, I would like to share with you what is the most important from tonight’s meeting with Her. Tonight Our Lady came to us very joyful and happy and at the beginning as always She greeted us all with Her Motherly greeting, “Praised be Jesus, my dear children.”

Then Our Lady said:
‘Dear children, also today, in a special way I call you to pray for my priests, for my beloved; to pray for the bishops and for the Holy Father. Pray, dear children, for my shepherds. Pray more than ever. The Mother prays together with you and is with you, therefore persevere in prayer and pray together with me for my intentions. Thank you dear children, also today, for having responded to my call.’

Our Lady then for a while with Her arms extended, prayed over all of us here. In a special way She prayed over the sick present here. She then blessed all of us with Her Motherly Blessing and blessed all religious articles brought for blessing. I then recommended all of you, all your needs, all your intentions, all your families and especially all the sick. Our Lady then continued to pray for a while, with Her arms extended, over all those present here. Especially, for a while, She prayed for priests present and priests generally. She then left in prayer, in an illuminated Sign of the Cross with a greeting, “Go in peace, my dear children.”
I would like to emphasize that tonight Our Lady called us all “more than ever” especially to pray for priests, the bishops and the Holy Father.”
