Father Livio of Radio Maria interviewed Marija about the message of October 25, 2017
Marija: I was in Vienna (Oct. 24th) where it was cold while in Medjugorje there was warm, I didn't bring warm enough clothes and I became sick with the flu. However, the evening of prayer in Vienna was a beautiful experience. We prayed like every year. We celebrated the tenth year of prayer for peace in the Vienna Cathedral with two cardinals, one bishop and twenty priests. Like every year the church was full, full. Very beautifull! Every time you go there is immense joy.
P. Livio: So you have had the appearance of Our Lady.
Marija: Yes. It was very beautiful: they pray for nine days with all prayer groups, so they see the fruits of Medjugorje; and normally at the ninth day some of us will participate. This year it was touching me.
P. Livio: Our Lady reminded us in the message that next week there will be the feast of all saints and also the commemoration of all the dead when the Church prays for all souls of purgatory. I would like you to tell the testimony of the experience you have had as you saw Heaven, purgatory and hell. In Fatima, the Madonna has shown the three Fatima children hell, but to you She has shown purgatory and Heaven.
Marija: It's true. Already in the early days of the apparitions, Our Lady told us that Paradise, purgatory, and hell exist. Then She physically carried Jakov and Vicka to these places. Instead we saw them as looking out of a window. Paradise is like a great space with so many people dressed in pastel-colored roman tunics who were in a state of ecstasy, joy, gratitude, and prayer. Our Lady told us that people have gone to Paradise because they have accepted the will of God throughout their lives and now they know more and more God and His will. Showing us purgatory, Madonna said that the people who were there were indecisive: one moment they believed, then did not believe. We have seen it as a fog, clouds, and we heard cries, voices asking for our prayers. Now these people deeply believe in God and their suffering is more spiritual because they want to go to God, but they can not. Our Lady recommended that we pray for the souls of purgatory, offer sacred sacrifices and Masses, so that they can soon reach God. Then we saw the hell where there was fire and people came into this fire and became beasts . Our Lady said that God gave us freedom and so some chose evil, they lived in sin and therefore went to hell. Our Lady said that we can no longer do anything for them, but we have to pray for sinners to convert as long as they are alive, because later it will be too late.
P. Livio: Then it is not true that hell is empty.
Marija: No, that's not true. In fact, Jakov and Vicka saw many people who were in hell.
P. Livio: Our Lady, in a message of the first months of the apparitions, said that the greatest number of people who die go to purgatory, a big number goes to hell and only a small number goes directly to Paradise.
Marija: We do not know how many. We know that God is mercy and love, but He can not force our freedom. For this reason Our Lady is asking through Mirjana every second of the month, as in Fatima, to pray for all those who do not pray, love and not worship.** She says, "Pray for all those who are far away, those who have not known God's love."
**The Fatima prayer of reparation taught by the angel to Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco is:
My God, I believe, I adore, I trust and I love Thee! I beg pardon for all those that do not believe, do not adore, do not trust and do not love Thee.
P. Livio: Instead, Vicka and Jakov were carried with their body in Paradise, purgatory and hell, for about 20 minutes.
Marija: Yes. They were in Jakov's house and there was also Jacov's mom. Of this we always joke with Jakov, because when Our Lady said She would carry them, Jakov thought that he would die and said to the Madonna: "Get Vicka, because in her family, they have 8 children, while I am a single son." At that time Jacov was small, just 10 years old and yet he thought of his Mother's suffering. Instead Madonna took them and then told them to testify to everyone that in the beyond there is another life, because so many do not believe.
P. Livio: Our Lady said that it is not God who sends to hell, but that we are the ones we want to go.
Marija: It's true. So many people are ostracized in evil and live in sin. They should listen to the Madonna who also says in this message: "The saints are a model and an exhortation to holiness." Instead, many people do not follow these examples, but follow bad examples and become a curse. Our Lady calls us instead to be a blessing to others, calling us to bless.
P. Livio: What is the saint you like most?
Marija: My favorite saint, since youth, is San Domenico Savio. Then the Franciscan saints; I am a Franciscan tertiary because in the parish of Medjugorje there are the friars. And then a long array of saints until the last one touching our heart and we celebrated a few days ago (October 22): John Paul II, the Pope of our youth ... You are in my prayers, in my heart, in a special way these days of prayer to the saints. I ask many people who are in trouble, people sick in bed, to join this prayer and to offer their sacrifices to Jesus and to Our Lady. Pray for their intentions, as you yourself ask. Especially in these halloween days, pray and call on the saints, while the world is leading us to evil spirits. That the saints really, as Our Lady says, are our models. We can also be more and more holy as you want. Let us pray for our conversion, for the conversion of the world, especially in this centenary year of Fatima's apparitions so that we can really be, as the Madonna says, her extended hands in the world.

Marija then prayed the "Magnificat" and Glory Be.
... and Father Livio concluded with the blessing.
