Father Smaverski - From an Officer to a Priest and a Virgin Mary's messenger
On January 29, 1990, the visionary received another message from Mary. "Go to Kurescek. Stay faithful. I am the Queen of Peace." There was no more doubt about the place. The church was quickly renewed and on August 1992, it was blessed by the bishop Alojz Sustar from Ljubljana.
He joined the Liberation Army when he was not yet 15 years of age (during World war II), and was trained to be an atheist and communist. In 1946 he married a widow Sida, becoming a stepfather to the son of his wife; he also had two daughters of his own with Sida. At first he was an officer under the leadership of communism. He resigned from his position as officer and became a teacher with a much smaller income. In 1954 he got hold of a Holy Bible and started to read it. This was his turning point to conversion. He also withdrew from the communist party. The consequences for this were very severe. There was constant interrogation and harassment. Nevertheless, with all his heart, he wanted to be a priest. Without any hope of becoming a priest, he still started to study theology at the age of 41. In the fifth year of his study his wife became ill with multiple sclerosis. He lovingly took care of her until her death on December 24th 1992. In spite of many obstacles and opposition, on November 21st 1993, at the age of 66, he eventually became a priest as he had beenn promised by the Holy Mother, Mary. It should also be mentioned that at that time painful wounds started appearing on his body, similar to St. Francis of Assisi and Padre Pio who also received the stigmata. Our Lady wants, that everybody, who accepts him, calls him "father" as he becomes a father to many, not just a brother. In March of 1990 Our Lady commissioned: "Prepare carefully the meeting of all those who wish to reconcile themselves, who wish to forgive all, so that they may be forgiven. Invite all to this meeting who want to share in divine peace, without regard to nationality. The meeting shall be in May, 1991. That shall become the month of reconciliation. Begin with May 1 and continue on all Saturdays of that month. Prepare yourselves already now with fasting and prayer." The preparations were serious and many faithful people participated in those reconciliation meetings. Next month, June 26, the war in Slovenia started and it was over in 10 days. The war in Slovenia was the beginning of the crisis in the former Yugoslavia. In 1995 the Queen of Peace
said: "The world did not recognize how Slovenia was saved from the atrocities of
war by the grace of God because of a small number of my children who faithfully followed
what I had commissioned them to do."
Father Marijan Sef asked the Commission for the investigation of the Marian apparitions, which was established by Dr. Alois Sustar, with the following three questions:
The chairman of the commission, professor Dr. F. Orazem, answered that the commission gives no information over the things, which it examines. Therefore it cannot answer to the posed questions. The commission's opinion is that concerning these questions everyone is to depend on his own conscience. P. M. Sef turned with these three questions to the archbishop and got the following response: "To the first two questions, given to the members of the Commission in the letter dated 31.10.1993, I can give a positive answer, while for the answer to the third question I ask a little patience until the next session of the Commission when I will get their opinion." The response of the archbishop means that neither in the introduction nor in the text of the booklet MARIJA KRALJICA MIRU NA KURESCKU contains things, which contradict the faith and moral teachings of the church. The answer to the third question obtained by P. M. Sef from the archbishop at the beginning of of May, 1994: "It is possible ". Thus still no opinion was delivered for the supernatural origin of the messages.
