It all began five years ago in Turzovka, place that is so beautiful and peaceful, where you can feel strong presence of merciful God and Heavenly Mother, despite that it is place that has so little attention.
It was May 2010 when couple of days before visiting I heard in my heart and soul voice of Mother of God. It was great calling of Virgin Mary of Turzovka, who was loved as well by my grandmother. My grandmother kept telling me during her life that I should at least once in a lifetime visit this blessed place. This calling was so strong, that I told my husband Valentin that we have to go there because when I stop thinking about that I hear that calling immediately in my heart again. So, then we went there in May together with our daughter who was barren for this unforgettable pilgrimage. Because we have never been there, we did not know that we can get there through Korňa3. We parked our car directly in Turzovka and walked through the forest using the same path as Matúš Lašut was taking. It was very long and difficult journey. From far away we could hear that the Holy Mass already started, and it was certain that we are not be able to make it on time to engage fully and properly. We were very said because of that and participated as we could while walking. Eventually we realized that we were engaged at the celebration of the Eucharist. When we arrived at the place where is chapel and stood aside in order not to disturb, my daughter said to me: „Mum, statue of Virgin Mary is looking at us with glaring eyes.“ I looked there and it really was as she told me. We were very delighted that Mother of God is not upset with us because of being late and that she rewarded us and let us see her beautiful eyes. Suddenly we noticed that Virgin Mary is smiling at us and is actually alive. She had her hands outstretched towards us and we were so joyful that we did not know what to do. Only my husband did not see her, and he was sad about that. I cheered him up that she smiled at him as well and she had a reason for that.
Full of impressions we came back home and there was another surprise. Dead rose tree in our garden, which did not blossom for many years, was full of flowers. We counted all flowers and buds and total count of them was 150. They were very peculiar as they were in different colors. We understood it in a way that Virgin Mary wants us to pray rosary. We immediately started to do so. From this occasion our life completely changed. Suddenly we started to see everything differently. We went through the conversion and did not desire anything but God and to pray a lot. Our whole sinful life up to now was projected. Several times we did general confession because we always forgot to confess something. Suddenly we felt great love towards Jesus in Eucharist. We bought books, biographies of various saints and started to visit Jesus in Eucharist after the holy mass or during Eucharistic adoration. We realized how much we love our Lord Jesus and Virgin Mary and how happy we are.
But we as well realized that we are alone in front of tabernacle and very few people come to visit Jesus. Everyone is running away after holy mass or people are already in church talking about everything but not about God. So, then we said to ourselves with my husband that we will constantly visit Jesus to make him at least a little bit happier. Time was passing by like this and nothing extraordinary happened. But then I again heard in my heart calling from Virgin Mary of Turzovka: “ You have to come on Sunday to Turzovka.“. I told it to my husband, but he could not quite understand that as weather forecast was bad and flooding was expected. Therefore, naturally he was worried. But Virgin Mary kept calling me and was telling my heart: “Tell your husband not to be afraid. I will be with you. I will protect you. You will make it.” So, we again departed as well with our daughter to this beautiful place of amazing memories and believed that we will really make it. Journey was very difficult for my husband as we were going through one cloudburst to the another and it was raining so heavily that wipers couldn’t catch up, but thanks to our heavenly Mommy we made it. All the way we prayed to Her with my daughter, asking for help. She guided us to Korňa where we got to the parking place at the forest and from there we walked to the chapel. When we arrived, there were only few people so we could not understand why Virgin Mary wanted us here. Suddenly from talking to others we found out, that there will be funeral of Matúš Lašut. Then we understood that Mother of God wanted us to be part of farewell with this visionary. Our joy was enormous. Even sun was shining suddenly so we thanked to God and to Virgin Mary for this big grace to be here at such significant event. It was 15th August 2010, Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.
In September our daughter Majka told me: „Mom, something strange happened to me. I was standing and behind me I heard voice of Virgin Mary. She told me: „Majka, come to Turzovka and wash your belly with my water, you will have baby.” And we did so. We came to Turzovka, Majka cleaned her belly with the water and was delighted. But nothing else happened. End of April 2012 when my husband prayed rosary in the evening for her blessing, suddenly Virgin Mary appeared in front of him with baby in her hands. She was wearing white dress. She smiled at Valentín, outstretched her hand and send the baby through air to him. It only took a moment. He woke me up and said: “Majka will have a baby”. Virgin Mary was here with me and brought the baby to me.” He as well got revelation that baby will be born on his birthday, that it will be his gift. And it happened exactly like this. 6th February 2013 Viktória Mária was born to our barren daughter after almost 9 years of marriage.
