Fr Peter's views on his last visit to Medugorje

I had such a grace to go to Medugorje in April 2008 together with Colm. I spent an amazing ten days with our lady whilst experiencing many gifts of the Holy Spirit. As we do every year, Colm and myself gave testimony about his healing and shared our faith with many other pilgrims seeking graces through Medugorje. It was a lovely experience making new friends with people from all over the world.

We had a very moving experience meeting Fr Svet who took Colm and myself to the Mother's village to meet a group of young men who had serious drug issues. We gave testimony to these young men, which had an amazing impact. They have offered their prayers and spiritual support in return. We both hope to go back in a few weeks for Colm's 4^th anniversary of his healing on the 21^st of may so we can truly gives thanks to Our Lady. Colm and myself joke often that it is going to be his 4^th birthday. He is the youngest 17 years old on earth.

Colm's views on his last visit to Medugorje

I went to Medugorje this time with no real plan or spiritual objectives. That turned out to be a fantastic plan in itself. The spontaneous nature of my last trip lead to such a fantastic experience of being lead 100% by the Holy Spirit. Fr Peter and myself once again gave testimony that was an amazing opportunity to spread the good news of God's grace. I was ill and hopeless before I was healed, when we give testimony to 200 people if one person is given hope I am happy knowing we have helped. The testimony does not belong to Fr Peter or myself. Instead you whom are reading at this very moment are the ones who truly witness. My healing is a testimony to Our Lady of Medugorje.

She is your mother and she loves every single one of us. She is here to take us along the path of God's will and holiness. And she will always be in our hearts no matter how many oceans separate us from Medugorje. We are all her witnesses and every pilgrim has a story. I had some amazing experiences meeting new people and spending time in front of Jesus in exposition. I met one young man called Jordan from the United States. He told me a story about how he found a book about Medugorje and then felt he had to come. He had never been to Medugorje before and he put full faith in where he was going and made the journey with his mother. Acts of faith such as this are so inspiring.

I will be returning to Medugorje in a few weeks from now. I want to pray in thanksgiving for the grace that god allows me to live. I was healed on 21^st of May 2004 now returning on my four-year anniversary of my healing the exact same date and hour. I feel will be so powerful and in a special way so close to my heart.
