Information About the Ten Secrets of Medjugorje   249 

3.  The third secret will occur more than a year after the first secret. It relates 

to  the human person. The visionaries have said that, at the time of this 

secret, a permanent sign will be left at Medjugorje. There will also be 

permanent signs in other places. But the secret itself is not merely a 

permanent sign. It is a blessing on the human person. 

      The first three secrets are closely related. They are each intended by God 

to be a blessing for humanity. They are a blessing even for persons who are 

non Catholic or non Christian or even non religious. The first three secrets 

are  a  blessing for those who have faith, but, for the faithless and impious, 

they are a source of fear and confusion. 

4.  The fourth secret takes years to unfold; it begins within a year or two 

after the third secret. It is worldwide in scope. It is not a natural disaster. It is 

not a supernatural disaster or event. But it is disastrous. Very many people 

will die as a result. Yet it is the will of God. 

5.  The fifth secret takes years to unfold; it begins soon after the fourth secret 

and gets worse as time passes.  It ends soon after the fourth secret ends. 

Many people will die or be seriously injured as a result. It is not a 

supernatural disaster or event. This secret occurs because of our sinfulness. 

God s plan does not require it. 

6.  The sixth secret begins within a few years after the fourth secret begins. 

The sixth secret unfolds over several years. The sixth secret ends a few years 

after the fourth secret ends. It is severe and widespread, affecting the much 

of the world, some areas more than others. In general, the wealthy will 

suffer more than the poor. It is not a supernatural disaster or event. Many 

people will suffer; some will die. 

7.  The seventh secret overlaps the fourth, fifth, and sixth secrets. It increases 

in severity and then diminishes in severity. It does not have a clear starting 

point or ending point. It is not a supernatural disaster or event. Many people 

will die. 

8.  The eighth secret occurs much later than the previous secrets. There is a 

space of several years between the end of the seventh secret and the 

beginning of the eighth secret. The eighth secret is not a natural disaster. It is 

not a supernatural disaster or event. Many good people will die. More good 

people will die than bad people.
