Breaking News: Another Marian Apparition approved by the Vatican!


  

Just a few days ago, on July 9, 2025, the Vatican issued a "nihil obstat" related to the reported Marian apparitions of Litmanová.  It's basically a green light - an official Church approval - for public devotions to be held at the site of the appearances and also for its associated messages.

These notable events occurred between August 1990 and August 1995 on Mount Zvir in northern Slovakia, where two young girls, Ivetka Korčáková and Katka Češelková, reported seeing the Virgin Mary, who identified herself as the “Immaculate Purity”.  The visionaries were 11 (Ivetka) and 12 when the visitations first began in a humble woodcutter's shack in the forest where they were resting from playing before Our Lady appeared in the midst of a bright light.  The shack has since been transformed into a rustic chapel atop the holy mountain.

"My dear children!  My Son invites
you.  Go to Him, and you will experience
true happiness and true peace.  My
dear children, I desire to lead you!  Open
your hearts to me, and you will
experience true peace and true joy.
Give thanks to the Cross!"

- Message of April 5, 1992

The apparitions commenced during a time of political upheaval and drew thousands of pilgrims, many of whom witnessed phenomena such as solar miracles and sought healing from a nearby spring reportedly blessed by the Holy Virgin.  Her messages emphasized conversion, simplicity, and spiritual renewal, similar to other approved Marian apparitions.

"My dear children!  Please take
more time to reflect on my messages.
pray to God for one thing - to leave
His peace within you.  The current time
is thief of peace.  Please say to God:

I love, therefore, I repent.
I love, therefore, I forgive.
I love, and that is my peace."

-  Message of March 5, 1995

Initially, Our Lady appeared on Sundays and Feast Days to the child seers, but later she came to the mountain on the First Sunday of each month and delivered public messages, just a few of which are posted here.

"My dear children, this revelation is
my last.  I love you ... and I thank you all
for what you have done for me here.

My beloved children!  I wanted
this to happen, to wake you up
from the dream of emptiness, so you
may understand the need for
conversion.  In this time, conversion
is essential!  Please, I beg you.

I will remain on this mountain.
Reflect on my messages!  Stay in
my heart during this time!
Stay, for you must become more
vigilant and simple.

The time that is coming has already
begun.  Remain like children - completely
free for God.  Please, take my words
to heart!  I love you and wait for
you in heaven."

- Final message of August 6, 1995
