Medjugorje "I have a strong heat in my chest but it heals instantly"

The crutch becomes a "memory"

In January 1988 a group of American Catholics arrived in Medjugorje, one of whom dragged himself leaning on a crutch. His body was tormented by unspeakable suffering so much that he had to avoid making any movement in order not to increase it. On January 21, his pilgrim companions climbed the hill of the first apparitions, while he remained in church to pray. At one point he felt the urge to go out and slowly dragged himself towards the back of the church, and then headed towards the sacristy walking on the left sidewalk, while observing the hill of the apparitions from afar. At one point he felt warmth in his chest and wanted to take off his jacket, thinking; "It's very hot for this season!" But then he felt that the heat was spreading all over his body and he wanted to walk: he realized then that he could do without the crutch and that the pains had disappeared. He headed quickly for the road from where his traveling companions were to come, returning from the hill. When he saw them from afar, he ran towards them throwing his crutch that had become useless on them. It was an explosion of joy: tears, laughter, shouts, songs ... and then everyone in the church to thank the Lord and Our Lady. Now, the American still has his crutch, but as a reminder of his extraordinary adventure.

The doctor scolds him: "You can't drive the car"

At the Triuggio meeting, Fr ​​Slavko spoke briefly about the case of a Croatian man, a certain Danijel, who was discharged 4 years ago from the hospital in Zagreb after 5 operations. He had been sent home and returned to the elderly mother because there was nothing more to do: his illness was incurable. But neither he nor his mother had given up and had resorted to the intercession of Our Lady of Medjugorje, seeing their trust rewarded. In fact, not long afterwards, Danijel was able to resume work by going to the construction site every day by car. Invited by the National Commission in charge of the events »in Medjugorje to return to Zagreb, he returned with all the documents and x-rays of his illness and handed them to the same doctor who had sent him home to die four years earlier. The doctor was very surprised to see him and asked him many questions. When he learned that his ex-patient was driving the car and going to work, he said to him: "You can't drive the car, you can't go to work. I will have your license withdrawn, because you cannot be cured ... » The man returned home mortified and told everything to his mother, who said: «What do you want that doctor now? Four years ago he sent you home to die and now he claims to rule over your life! Come on, take the car and go to work. Our Lady is the best doctor of all: only you must listen! ». And Danijel did so and continues to do so and says to everyone: «I don't know if Our Lady appears in Medjugorje or does not appear. The only thing I know is this: that the doctors sent me home to die and I, after praying to the Gospa, am fine and going to work. But they don't believe it ... "
