Healing occurred in Medjugorje: walk back from the wheelchair

Gigliola Candian, 48, from Fossò (Venice), has been suffering from multiple sclerosis for ten years. Since 2013, the disease has forced her into a wheelchair. On Saturday 13 September she left for a pilgrimage to Medjugorje. And something happened there.

At the Gazzettino in Venice, Candian said she felt a great heat in the legs and saw a light. Since then she has felt strong that she can walk.

She got up from the wheelchair and despite the reduced muscle of her legs she started walking. First slowly then more and more secure. She left the wheelchair and returned to Italy by bus.

Once she returned, she started walking around the house, then the first walks in the garden. He helps himself with a walker, but proceeds faster and faster. Nobody knows, first of all, what really happened. Doctors will investigate and are trying to understand.

Candian made statements to the Venice Gazzettino, claiming that it is a miracle. It was not the first time that the woman went to Medjugorje.

The discovery of the disease had made her suffer a lot, but she revealed that she had now accepted it and that she had never asked the Madonna for healing.

She was attending a mass when she felt the heat, saw the light, got up and started walking, between her and her daughter's disbelief.

Thousands of pilgrims have been going to Medjugorje since 1981. Since that is when the first apparition of Mary would take place. Since then a huge number of pilgrims have traveled to the small Bosnian town. Even the most skeptical pray, confess, convert and access the sacraments.

There is no medical commission that checks for unexplained healings that may seem like miracles. And that of Gigliola Candian is only the latest in an unknown number of unexplained healings that took place in Medjugorje.
