Medjugorje: a man regains his sight

After 30 years of nearsightedness, my husband had a perfect sight in Medjugorje, says Lina Martelli from Catanzaro, Italy. "When his glasses disappeared, I told him not to worry because he had left them to the Madonna," he says. Martelli also saw the Virgin Mary in the clouds.Lina Martelli and her husband in front of the church of San Giacomo in Medjugorje. Having lived with myopia for 30 years, a few days later Mr. Martelli no longer needed to wear glasses.

Myopia had been a fact of life for 30 years for Lina Martelli's husband. But only until the couple from southern Italy visited Medjugorje for the first time in October 2009, Ms. Martelli tells the local newspaper Catanzaro Informa. Lina Martelli's husband, who has no name in the local news, lost his glasses while climbing Cross Mountain. The glasses were never found again, but as it turned out later they were no longer needed, Lina Martelli testifies:

Still wearing glasses, Mr. Martelli observes what his wife describes as the clear outline of the Virgin Mary in a cloud above Medjugorje on October 3, 2009. "I was sure of it: it was Our Lady. For a moment, I no longer saw a cloud in the likeness of Mary, but the face, flesh and blood of Our Lady of Medjugorje. The same face depicted in the statue in the village church, "says Lina Martelli

“Like all pilgrims, we embarked on the tortuous path to the cross on Cross Mountain. My husband wore glasses as always because he had been nearsighted for 30 years. However, on his return he realized that he had lost his glasses. then he thought that perhaps he had forgotten them in the hotel, "says Lina Martelli in Catanzaro Informa. “It wasn't because a video showed that he had worn glasses while climbing the mountain. However, my husband never found the glasses and continued the pilgrimage without them. A little depressed, on the return ferry home he said he had to buy another pair, so he would have to face another expense. "

For Lina Martelli, this cloud turned into a vision of the Virgin Mary shortly after the photo was taken, she says “Smiling, I told him not to worry because he had left them to the Madonna. On our return, we went to see the ophthalmologist and the doctor said that my husband didn't need glasses, because he could see normally.
