My Medjugorje Miracle

My Medjugorje Miracle

I’d heard about Medjugorje before but it was a place 
I’d never been and would probably never go, I thought.
Surrounded then by people who had been, 
I listened as they shared their stories of miracles and healing.
It did my heart good to listen to one story in particular, 
A beautiful story involving the Holy Spirit and Vicka’s smile.
As I envisioned her smile I began to feel a joy and peace I’d never felt before.
Everything went quiet and as I raised my head my eyes settled upon the grey cloud that had appeared in the room.
I found out what a special place Medjugorje is that evening.
Truly it’s a place where Heaven touches Earth.
Truly it’s a place I know now I must go,
Because not only did Heaven touch Earth that night, 
Our Lady touched my heart.

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
