Our Memories from Medjugorje – A Medjugorje Story
Justin Kozma is a member of the group of young adults who visited Medjugorje on the occasion of the 2022 Youth Festival. Here is his account of the trip:
“I could write an entire book on what I experienced in Medjugorje, but I want to focus on three main points:
The Miracle of Conversions of Hearts
The Reality of Spiritual Warfare
The dire need of accepting St. Mary as our mother
This first point touches on some preconceptions and subconscious wishes I had about Medjugorje. I had heard that some people have experienced supernatural healings, witnessed Fatima-like miracles of the sun, or even had their own rosaries turn into gold. Once there, I was quickly overwhelmed by the reality that those miracles would pale in comparison to what I would witness in the heart of my younger brother. Witnessing the minute-by-minute submission and acceptance of God’s love into his heart and seeing within days his full re-conversion sent me into a state of shock for a few days. We grew together spiritually and connected as brothers in ways we never had. The conversion of heart I was saw in my brother, letting St. Mary guide him back to Jesus, was greater than any physical miracle I could have witnessed, more powerful than I could have imagine.
This story is one of thousands upon thousands of people who have witnessed or undergone conversions due to their time in Medjugorje.
