In Medjugorje: my greatest experience with the Virgin Mary

I had my greatest experience in regard to the Virgin Mary in Medjugorje. I visited the church the very afternoon of my arrival, and during the celebration of the Mass I heard a very distinct voice say to me: "Here is your Mother", and then: "Here is your son!"

Since that day, all my questions about the role of Mary in the history of salvation, and in my own salvation, have found an answer thanks to her intervention.

My love for Mary grew even more when I participated in a march in Soure, Brazil, to defend the right of unborn children. There were uprisings in town that could have led to violence and even worse, but God prevented it and kept everyone under his protection.

I had invoked Mary's name with all my might.

Through her intercession, God dispelled the threat of a police repression, which would have brought an explosion of violence, and social peace was maintained. I invoked the Holy Spirit by the name of Mary and, thanks to her, the peril of a bloody riot was avoided. For the greater glory of God! Long live the Mother of God who is also our Mother!
