Medjugorje reconciled my soul with God

My visit to the Marian shrine of Medjugorje (1) reconciled my soul with the Lord. In the modern world, God seems to be gradually disappearing from our hearts and losing all value. So I went there initially to rediscover my faith, which I'd been neglecting for some time, while at the same time taking a trip with fifty young people. 

Basically, the Holy Spirit guided me along this path of truth and sincerity, and I answered the call! There, I first discovered people with generous hearts, sincere friendships, not laden with preconceptions, and eager to advance on the journey. 

And once there, I understood: “Medj” is a light in the night, a place of openness to God. There, I encountered a time of grace, reflection on myself, and answers on the importance of life. We are all called to work for a better, fairer world. Prayer is so simple, and it opens our hearts! 

I surprised myself, and kept asking for more! But our mission has only just begun!
