He continued climbing the stops of the Via Crucis carried by the delicious song.Īt a station on the Via Crucis, he spotted a group of nuns kneeling in the mud, surrounded, like Randall, by thunder and lightning.Īnd then, suddenly, he felt compelled to get down on his knees and pray for the first time in his life.Īfter praying for a while, he followed the nuns to the top while praying with them at each Stations of the Cross.Īnd at the top of the mountain he was comforted by a young woman who conveyed incomparable grace and gave peace, placed a cloth on Randall’s shoulders and a hat on his head, without speaking.

The storm was rare, starting with the very intense luminosity of the lightning, from which he could even feel its heat and he said to himself: “Well if there is a God, I suppose this is the moment.”Īnd in the middle of the storm he heard voices singing in French. He had an inexplicable vision on Mount Krizevac, in the middle of the storm, where at the top there is an eight-meter cross that sometimes disappears from view and in its place the silhouette of the Virgin appears. He says it was an oppressively hot day in Medjugorje and he was kicked out of the house of the seer Mirjana for his offensive behavior and comments.Īnd then Sullivan walked into the foothills of Mount Kricevac or Mount of the Cross and the rain, thunder, and lightning began.Īnd there he lived a miracle that transformed his life. Randall Sullivan was a contributing editor for Rolling Stone magazine for more than twenty years. The whole world is going to change,” Kingon said of Medjugorje.Īnother miraculous story is the one that happened to Randall Sullivan, journalist and writer, who was first agnostic and then atheist and went to Medjugorje. “Something of great importance is happening there. Īnd Alfred Kingon, who served as Undersecretary of Finance and also Ambassador to the European Community for the United States, was in Medjugorje in 1987.Īnd he was so shocked that he sent a two-and-a-half page letter to former President Ronald Reagan and a similar report to Mikhail Gorbachev of the Soviet Union. President Ronald Reagan read messages from Medjugorje and tried to speak to one of the seers. Simon is one of the many leaders who have been touched by Medjugorje. Until the year of his death in 2000, he served as a minister of the Eucharist and cared for the sick and needy, especially those closest to death. “I cannot explain the transformation, either of the rosary or of my own life, except as a sign of Divine intervention,” said the former high-ranking official. Simon wasn’t quite sure what to do with it, and on his return he took the rosary to a jeweler for evaluation, which confirmed that the chain had inexplicably turned to solid gold. “That was weird because the chain was just a cheap alloy, yet it suddenly appeared radiant, golden, and vibrant and stayed that way.” “And then he took out the old inexpensive rosary beads that he had bought about ten years ago, and found that the chain was glistening in the sun. “After the first Mass in Medjugorje, I remember saying to my son Billy: ‘This is the closest I have ever felt to heaven on earth.’ In the book, A Time for Reflection, Simon - a former Wall Street wunderkind and billionaire - revealed that he experienced a miracle in Medjugorje. One of the most striking miracles happened to the former US Secretary of the Treasury in the presidencies of Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, William Simon, who was also president of the United States Olympic Committee. Here we are going to talk about the most striking miracles that came to light in Medjugorje. Īnd over 40 years more than 50 million pilgrims passed there.īut not everyone knows that thousands of miracles have happened there, especially cures.

In recent decades Medjugorje has become the confessional of the world, and a hotbed of vocations according to Hoser. īut based on the report, Pope Francis appointed an apostolic administrator, Monsignor Henrik Hoser, who settled in Medjugorje to promote the pilgrimage site and its fruits. This conclusion will not lead to the approval of the apparitions.īecause it will hardly be formally approved while there are still apparitions and messages, the Church never did in its history. Many still debate whether it actually appears or is a fraud.īut between 20 a Vatican commission functioned to study the apparitions, chaired by Cardinal Ruini, who submitted a report to Francisco, maintaining that the first 7 apparitions in 1981 were supernatural it was the Virgin who appeared while on the rest, the commission did not offer an opinion. From Forums of the Virgin Mary :Īs most Catholics surely know, the Virgin Mary appears in Medjugorje, Bosnia Herzegovina, giving messages as the Queen of Peace, since June 24, 1981.
