Foreword by Paul Le Claire

This private site is dedicated to Our Lady Queen of Peace of Medjugorje. It was inspired by a miraculous healing of a boy from Jersey in 2004. In May 2004 Father Peter Glas from West of Jersey Parish  and I went on  a Pilgrimage to Medjugorje. It was during this trip that Father Peter and  I prayed for Our Lady to intercede with a healing for Colm Cahill a 13 year old boy from Jersey. Led by the Strength of Faith of Father Peter I prayed with All My Heart for a miracle for a boy I had never met. Together we prayed the stations of the cross for the intention of  a healing. We went to the apparition hill on the 21st of May 2004 and holding a picture of Colm during the Visitation I saw Father Peter praying for him to Our Lady. From the depth of my heart  I prayed too not knowing what a change this would have in my life one year on. Although the boy Colm was too sick to travel he prayed in his garden in front of a shrine of Our Blessed Lady of Medjugorje. At 9.p.m. on the 21st of May 10 p.m. in Medjugorje our Lady answered our prayers and Colm Cahill we believe was healed from a terrible illness that had been with him since he was a child of seven years. 

"I had lit ten candles to Our Lady and at the precise time that Our Lady appeared in Medjugorje all ten candles were blown out and I was filled with a deep sense of Peace. It was unlike any feeling I have ever known. it is so hard to describe, but a real sense of Peace" Colm said. In the following hours we prayed that there had been a healing with text messages flying back and forwards it seemed remarkable by the third day that he had not suffered any more seizures. Before this  time he had been having several each and every day, some lasting hours, the family had reached the end of the road.

                As the days turned to weeks and the weeks to months Colm and his Mother held strong to the faith that Our Lady had interceded to her Son for a healing for Colm. After Colm was finally discharged from hospital they confirmed that they would travel to Medjugorje to thank Our Lady personally.  His recovery was so remarkable, that within six months, he joined the Air Cadets and was presented with a certificate by the Lieutenant Governor of Jersey, Air Chief Marshal Sir John Cheshire K.B.E, C.B.

 One year on, Colm and his Mother Mary celebrated the anniversary of his healing in Medjugorje with Father Peter and the rest of the pilgrims that had returned to witness Our Lady's presence. During the dinner before the cake celebrating his first anniversary was presented I refrained from eating and was inspired to write a Hymn of thanks. I completed it before the cake arrived and after the celebration of the cake cutting I played it for the first time to all who were there. It was remarkable I heard it for the first time everyone else did and I am sure it was not I alone that had composed it.

On the 23rd of May in the Parish Church of St. James the Apostle in Medjugorje Father Peter celebrated Holy Eucharist together with other English speaking Priests and Pilgrims. During the Homily Father Peter gave testament to the remarkable "Seven Days of Prayer for Healing" that he had offered Our Lady for Colm's healing and with most people in tears at the incredible story Colm walked up to the Altar together with his Mother Mary Cahill,  as Father Peter proclaimed ...............

"If you have doubts don't doubt any longer...............................He has been a walking sign in my Life for the past 12 months.........The whole congregation applauded even many of the Priests and the majority of people, were in tears, having listened to the testimony. I then played his Hymn which had been given to me by Our Lady on the evening of the 21st of May at supper and the congregation joined in with the words of the chorus, Singing Alleluia, Ave Maria in Medjugorje.
