Benoit "was skeptical when he came [to Medjugorje] like other members of his group but he left not only convinced but transformed."
I can attest to this. I went to medjugorje for the first time 15 years ago and experienced a powerful conversion back to the Faith and the Church.
Currently discerning returning to medjugorje again in a few months if Mary calls me. Would love to go back again. Had a lovely time there recently.
It's in my heart to go back also. I've often gone in September and even early October. It's in the Lord's hands. I haven't dared mentioned it to my husband yet. If it's from Our Lady it will happen.
I have a friend who has been to Medugorje so many times I am surprised he has not been declared Lord Mayor of the village. He is also someone who makes friends very easily and seemed to know half the village. I would guess for anyone like yourself who has a big Cross it would be a great idea to keep going. A place of rest.
I remember the first time I went to Medugorje I had just got back home in the car from the airport. I felt deflated and missed the place so much . Then I heard the voice of Our Lady say clearly to me, 'Make your heart and where you live another Medugorje, be another Medugorje. Take it with you!' This cheered me up a lot.
