Medjugorje: Mirjana's meeting with John Paul II

Mirjana's meeting with John Paul II

Question: Can you tell us something about your meeting with John Paul II?

MIRJANA - That was a meeting that I will never forget in my life. I went to San Pietro with an Italian priest together with the other pilgrims. And our Pope, holy Pope, passed and gave blessing to everyone, and so also to me, and he was going away. That priest called him, saying to him: "Holy Father, this is Mirjana of Medjugorje". And He came back again and gave me the blessing again. So I said to the priest: "There is nothing to do, He thinks I need a double blessing". Later, in the afternoon, we received a letter with an invitation to go to Castel Gandolfo the next day. The following morning we met: we were alone and in the midst of other things our pope said to me: “If I were not Pope, I would have already come to Medjugorje. I know everything, I follow everything. Protect Medjugorje because it is hope for the whole world; and ask the pilgrims to pray for my intentions ”. And, when the Pope died, after a few months a friend of the Pope came here who wanted to remain incognito. He brought the Pope's shoes, and said to me: “The Pope always had a great desire to come to Medjugorje. And I jokingly said to him: If you do not go, I wear your shoes, so, in a symbolic way, you will also walk on that earth you love so much. So I had to keep my promise: I brought the Pope's shoes ".
