When Mary transforms hearts

Coming from near and far, regardless of their country of origin, numerous pilgrims to Medjugorje return home spiritually transformed.

Some parishioners who before had a hard time remaining in prayer for 30 minutes, are now able to pray for 4 hours straight! Sometimes the priest, from the altar, will dismiss the faithful, yet many choose to stay longer. We personally witnessed these things.

The faithful also tell us that, these days, the people don’t use curse words in their village. Young and old have confessed their past sins, and are completely changed. We were very touched by their profound transformation!

Last Christmas, a villager was crying because his sons did not want to come to midnight Mass. Today, these same sons are here every Sunday and even every evening, kneeling by the altar in deep prayer and sincere devotion.
