We met Fr. Frank Gindro from Denmark and asked him to share his experience with us. He said that he feels special presence of Our Lady here, “It is a feeling I did not have for a long time. I pray for people in my country that have lost hope in their lives. I will come back to Medjugorje!”

What is your life mission? Have you ever contemplated it? More importantly, have you ever asked the Holy Spirit to guide you in completing His plan for you? As we travel along our life journey, it helps to pull over at occasional rest stops and ask ourselves, “Is what I am doing in life my mission? Is there more, or something different I should be focusing on?”

Pellegrinaggio a Medjugorje commentato dalla giornalista Donatella Cupertino ...Dalle tenebre alla luce è un viaggio bellissimo...

She loved him, but he left and never came back
She cried for tenderness and her lost happiness
And she went almost daily to a chapel, deep in the forest
And the weeping Madonna gave her support

(Sie liebte ihn, doch er ging fort und kam nicht mehr zurück ...)
