Marija of Medjugorje: how my life has changed with Our Lady

PAPABOYS - You have been seeing the Madonna every day for the past twenty-two years; after this meeting, how did your life change and what did Our Lady teach you?

MARIJA - With Our Lady we learned many things and the most important thing is that we met God in another way, a new way, although we all belonged to Catholic families we all embraced holiness at the same time. holiness means being concrete in our faith as Christians, attending Holy Mass as Our Lady asks us, sacraments ...

PAPABOYS - During these meetings you feel like you are in Heaven; then, you return to everyday reality which is totally different. Is this abyss painful for you?

MARIJA - It is an experience where during the day we can only have the desire for Paradise and the nostalgia for Paradise, because meeting the Madonna every day, every day the desire to be ever closer to her and to the Lord arises.

PAPABOYS - Today's young people often live in insecurity and fear of the future. do you think these sufferings are due to a lack of trust in the faith of God, given that the Madonna in one of her messages said that if you pray with sincerity, you should not be afraid of the future.

MARIJA - Yes, Our Lady also said in the message at the beginning of the new millennium that those who pray are not afraid of the future, those who fast are not afraid of evil. Our Lady invites us to pass on our experience with God to others, because when we are close to him we are not afraid of anything. When we have God we don't miss anything. Our experience with Our Lady made us fall in love and made us discover Jesus, and we put him at the center of our life.

PAPABOYS - Like other seers you have seen, hell, purgatory and paradise: you can describe them.

MARIJA - We have seen everything as from a large window. Our Lady showed us Heaven as a great space with many people who thank God for all he has done on earth. It is a place of continuous praise to God. In purgatory we have heard people's voices; we saw fog, like clouds, and Our Lady told us that God gave us freedom and who was in that place had been uncertain; he believed and did not believe. Li, who was in purgatory, lived a great suffering but in the awareness of the existence of God, aiming to be ever closer to him. In hell we saw a young girl burning and, while burning, she turned into a beast. Our lady said that God gave us freedom of choice and it is up to us to make the right choice. So Our Lady showed us another life, and made us witnesses and told us that each of us must choose for her life.

PAPABOYS - What do you recommend to young unbelievers and to those who follow all the idols of this world?

MARIJA - Our Lady always asks us to pray, to draw near to God; and Our Lady asked us to stay close to the young people with prayer. We must also be close to young Christians, Catholics, to those who have been baptized but who are far from God. We all need conversion. To those who do not know God and who want to know and know him, I invite them to go to Medjugorje, a place of witness.
