Back home, tests showed 19 tumors and all bone metastases to be gone as the beginning of Joshua’s now complete recovery. 16 грудень 2011 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Testimonies Lame girl was healed during apparition in Medjugorje![]() All the medical tests were negative when Silvia Busi fell very ill at 16. Within days, the all-normal Italian girl found herself in a wheelchair, unable to move her legs. Nine months later Silvia’s illness disappeared as suddenly as it had come about, during an apparition to Medjugorje visionary Ivan Dragicevic. The gift of faith is the biggest one I got, she says. 10 грудень 2011 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Caritas of Birmingham and "A Friend of Medjugorje" Terry Colafrancesco, Sterrett (AL), Alabama ![]() Dr. Bill Bilton, EWTN: Bishop of Birmingham stated that Caritas of Birmingham is a "business", priests do not have permission to celebrate Mass there![]() Caritas of Birmingham - Question from Roberta on 6/18/2001: Is Caritas of Birmingham a legitimate place to get Our Lady's messages? This group mails out blue post cards with the monthly message. The disturbing part is the coomentary by the "Founder", who will not reveal who he or she is. The group claims to have an inside line to the happenings at Medjugorge. Some of the commentary seems overly strict and somewhat outlandish. Can you let me know whether I should continue receiving their mailings? 1 грудень 2011 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Charitable projects The salmon farmer who feeds the world![]() By Mark Greaves Mark Greaves meets Magnus Macfarlane-Barrow, founder of a charity that provides free meals to half a million children each day Magnus Macfarlane-Barrow’s first experience of delivering aid was to drive a Land Rover crammed with food, clothing and medicine from the Highlands of Scotland down to Bosnia. At the time he was a salmon farmer: he had taken just a week’s holiday to do it. When he got back, his family shed was bulging with aid that had poured in from friends and friends of friends. He quit his job, sold his house, and learned to drive articulated lorries. Now, about 20 years later, his charity Mary’s Meals feeds half a million children every day. But that is not the start of the story. At least, not how Magnus tells it. The real beginning was 10 years earlier, when he was 14, and he went on a pilgrimage to a small village called Medjugorje. 20 листопад 2011 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Testimonies Encounters in Medjugorje![]() Journalists of radio station “Mir” Medjugorje regularly invite pilgrims who come to Medjugorje to witness about their apparitions. Here, we will bring some of those experiences. Davor Terzic, musician and composer from Rovinj came with his wife Vesna to Medjugorje. Davor is very much present at Croatian music scene and he is regularly participating at every festival of spiritual music. “We visited other Croatian shrines like Marija Bistrica and Vepric, and here we are in Medjugorje, for seventh, eighth time. We try to have a little bit time for ourselves every year. Our work is related to music, we make our living from that. We come here to thank God for everything he has given us in the previous year. This is where we feel fulfilled.” 12 листопад 2011 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Testimonies God’s power and Love![]() By Devon Bailey One of the messages I keep coming back to this year is the message of being “Real”.

The story that I am about to tell you is completely true and I am promising right now that I will not lie to you. 31 жовтень 2011 , Originally published 4 червень 2011 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Interviews, Testimonies From hell to heaven passing through bunga bunga.

![]() By Benedetta Sangirardi, affaritaliani.it Ania has a rented house in Milano. It is colorful and cozy. When you enter, you have the impression of a lively, very lively apartment.

Ania Goledzinowska, 28, a Polish model, intercepted in the Ruby-gate investigation for the Silvio Berlusconi‘s "Bunga Bunga" nights, engaged to Paolo Beretta (Silvio Berlusconi’s nephew) is a very sweet girl.

Far different from her first "With the eyes of a child" ("Con Occhi Di Bambina", published by Piemme Edizione), among the 100 best-selling books in Italy (81st place). 9 жовтень 2011 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Testimonies For countess who gave it all up, Medjugorje is in the heart![]() By Nestor U. Torre, Philippine Daily Inquirer When June Keithley introduced me to Countess Milona von Hapsburg last Thursday, Oct. 6, I was struck by the great contrast between her storied royal lineage and her sweet simplicity of dress and demeanor. Here, clearly, was a person who had succeeded in transcending the trappings of "royalty” to focus exclusively on the more important aspects of life that now mattered most to her. They were mostly significantly led by the spiritual mission that had prompted her many years ago to uproot herself and her family and live in the Marian apparition site of Medjugorje, a small village in the former Yugoslavia. 1 жовтень 2011 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Caritas of Birmingham and "A Friend of Medjugorje" Terry Colafrancesco, Sterrett (AL), Alabama ![]() Bizarre book "How to change your husband" by self-styled "A Friend of Medjugorje" (Terry Colafrancesco, Caritas of Birmingham) -- troubles faithful Catholic women and their families![]() Faithful Catholic women posted their following reviews of the book How to Change Your Husband by self-styled "A Friend of Medjugorje", leader of his group Caritas of Birmingham on Amazon bookstore.

Have you ever contemplated it? More importantly, have you ever asked the Holy Spirit to guide you in completing His plan for you?

Shea One of the big puzzles that many Catholics have grappled with in recent years is the baffling phenomenon of some charismatic figure (one thinks of a Rev. Marcial Maciel, for instance) who can, for years, inspire or otherwise offer blessing and solace to good and decent Christians who are full of faith and obedient to the Church. Said figure can preach or write clear and engaging explications of the Faith. He can do all sorts of wonderful things that help struggling souls find healing, that give new purpose to the hopeless, and that help the lost discover the riches of grace in Christ. He is beloved by his devotees– and not without reason. And yet that charismatic figure then turns out to be bound up with very serious sin or even shown to be, as in Father Maciel’s case, a monster of diabolical proportions. | | ![]() | |
