A French pilgrim came to see me in Medjugorje.
"Sister," she said to me. "Let me tell you how Jesus and Mary caught me!" A few
years ago I was walking around the open market in my village, all leisurely. I
walked up to a stand that sold all sorts of different things; I bought a piece
of clothing and paid for it. As I was leaving, the sales woman called after me,
saying, "Here, take this audio tape, it's free! I'm sick of it! It's all
nonsense!" The audio tape was about Medjugorje. I listened to it the same day,
and I cried from beginning to end. I listened to it 50 times, it was like light
shining in my darkness and I couldn't get enough of it. Then I decided to look
for information about the Christian faith, which I had never practiced. And
that is how I was converted, and it gives me such joy!"
You never know what trick is up the sleeves of Our Lady.
She will find anything to reach her children! She infiltrates everywhere and
uses every possible means. Even mockery is useful to her! How had that tape
landed with this anti-Christian sales woman? Whose heart had prayed? Whose
hands had given? The summer gives us new opportunities to do good deeds. Let
us pray to be guided in the smallest gestures of our daily life, and sow
generously! In the great plan to save humanity, nothing is too small before
God. "Dear children, I need you," Mary tells us over and over again,
waiting for our answer without ever getting tired!
