Good morning

I was thinking about all this what happens here with the people who come on a pilgrimage. I just met one of the tourist guides from Italy who told me that he is planning to come back with the groups from his town, but he thinks that we need to add more interesting things into the program for our pilgrim. OH! Really?! - I said.

When people come here at first sight they really can think that there is just nothing to do here ... But once you let go and you open your heart and after you have said YES to Our Lady while climbing the Apparition Hill, or maybe just sitting down there by the church listening ( and not understanding one word, except maybe for AMEN)... Once you have that river flowing into your heart then through your body an soul, and you start praying and meditating, then your stay in Mejdugorje passes so quickly and you think of coming back again and again and again.
Medjugore is not about seeing things (although there are things to see :-) ) it is all about feeling. And what you will feel is something that cannot be explained, cannot be put in words.. That extraordinary encounter with your heavenly mother who is present here in Medjugojre in a very special way. And then trough Her you will meet your God, your Lord.
There is no better way to go to Jesus than trough Mary. I suggest you read Louis-Marie Grignion De Montfort and his most famous work "True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary", and Medjugorje gives us a chance to go that way.
Well I am sure my Italian friend will realize that once in Medjugorje you get so busy with prayers climbing hills, evening programs etc. That you really do not think, not even for one second , that you need to add anything. Sometimes just one mass can be an overwhelming experience.
I hope many of you will come to experience the power of Medjugorje, the power of the presence of our Mother and Her warm embrace.
Hope many of you will come back to this place as one returns to one's spiritual source.

Surely you are all very welcome.

God bless!
Emanuel
