The Third Secret of Medjugorje is same as the Miracle of Garabandal, also called the Day of Healing.
What the Third Secret Is
See the article on the Miracle of Garabandal. In summary, the third secret consists of three things:
1. the gift of healing given to very many, but not all, faithful persons and repentant sinners throughout the world
2. Permanent Signs at many, but not all, places of true private revelation throughout the world
3. the conversion of very many unbelievers throughout the world, because they have been healed by God internally (making it easier for them to believe), or because they know of the healings of other persons, for because they see, or even merely hear about, the Permanent Signs.
The Extent of the Third Secret
The Miracle of Garabandal is the third secret of Medjugorje. Do you find this hard to believe? But I say more. There are numerous other places of true private revelation which also will be given Permanent Signs, just as at Garabandal, just as at Medjugorje. Allow me to appeal to your reason as well as to your faith. The Warning affects every single soul on earth, from prenatals in the womb to the elderly, from the faithful to persons of other faiths, to atheists, from the very good to the very bad, and everyone in-between. And this great expansiveness of the first secret (i.e. the Warning) is due to the great expansiveness of the Mercy and Love of God. So how is it that you think the third secret is only for one or two small towns out of all the towns and cities on the face of the earth. Even if millions gather at only one or two locations, still this is so much less than the perhaps 6.5 billion or so persons affected by the first secret (the Warning, i.e. the Day of Repentance). Do you not believe that God is using these events to change the whole world? So how could this third effort by God be so limited? The answer is that it cannot possibly be so limited. God is reaching out to the whole world with the first three secrets of Medjugorje, so as to prepare the whole world, or at least all those within the whole world who will respond to God's graces. For the sufferings of the first part of the tribulation are to begin very soon after the Miracle.
Notice also that the Warning (the Day of Repentance) is a benefit for the soul, at least for those who accept its gift by repenting and converting. And then the subsequent Day of Consolation, though not given to all persons on earth, does affect the spirits of everyone on earth who has accepted the first gift, that of repentance from sin; these very many persons all over the world will receive Divine consolation on that day. The gift of the first secret, repentance, is offered to everyone; those who accept it are offered the gift of the next secret, consolation. So how could the gift of the third secret, meant to heal the bodies of the faithful who are in need, so as to prepare them for the sufferings soon to fall upon the whole world, not be worldwide in extent? It cannot. It must apply very widely (but not universally) to those in need of this Day of Healing, and this Permanent Sign of the power and mercy of God. So does God prepare the souls, the spirits, and the bodies, of all those throughout the whole world who are willing respond to His graces and gifts, before He brings His Just Afflictions upon the world.
Therefore, appealing to your reason as well as to your faith, I tell you that there will be many Permanent Signs in numerous places of true private revelation. So then, the whole world does not have to go to Medjugorje or Garabandal to be present for the Permanent Sign; there will be numerous places with Permanent Signs because these are Signs for the whole world. (But beware of false claims of private revelation, telling you that they, too, will have a Permanent Sign. For there are many false prophets in the world today.)
Little Time Left
It has been said: “After the visible sign, those who are still alive will have little time for conversion.”
If you have not repented and converted after having been offered by God the gifts of the first three secrets (the Day of Repentance, the Day of Consolation, the Day of Healing), then woe to you! Your suffering will be greater in the coming afflictions that those who have turned to God for His Divine assistance. The time left for conversion after the third secret, that is, after the Permanent Signs and all the miraculous healings throughout the world, is short. There is a space of time given by God after the events of the third secret. This is provided as a last effort to bring persons to conversion, so that they will be properly prepared for the beginning of the tribulation. But it is a short space of time (weeks or months, but certainly less than a year).
Within the same calendar year as the third secret, the afflictions of the subsequent secrets begin with the start of the fourth secret (World War 3). This war, if you would believe me, begins with a nuclear bomb explosion in New York City; a bomb sent by the Arab/Muslim nations of the Middle East and northern Africa, who at that time will be led by extremists and united as one group of nations (led by Iran and Iraq). Then, in reaction to this event, there will be great fear and chaos, and then later troop movements and battles. See the articles on the remaining secrets.
