I found this on Pilgrims site she said I could post it but she got it on spirit daily
it is going to help let people know about Medjugorje when the book comes out. This is what we all want
In the book, A Time for Reflection (Regnery), Simon -- a former Wall Street wunderkind and multi-millionaire whose recollections were compiled by writer John M. Caher -- then dropped this bombshell:
"At Medjugorje, I was actually the recipient of a miracle. Medjugorje ('between the hills') is a small village in Bosnia-Hercegovina (formerly Yugoslavia) where, since 1981, the Blessed Mother has been appearing and giving messages to the world, mainly through six young people. Since the first apparitions in 1984, millions of people of all faiths have visited Medjugorje. Countless have been healed and converted.
"After our first Mass at Medjugorje, I remember telling my son Billy, 'That is the closest I've ever felt to Heaven on earth.' I then pulled out the old, inexpensive rosary beads that I had bought about ten years earlier, and noticed that the chain was glittering in the sun.
"That was strange. The chain was just some cheap, dull alloy, yet it suddenly appeared radiant and golden and vibrant and remained so. I wasn't quite sure what to make of it, and upon my return brought the rosary to a jeweler for an appraisal. He confirmed that the chain, inexplicably, had turned to solid gold. I can't explain the transformation, either of the rosary or my own life, except as a sign of Divine intervention."
This is the one I spoke about before in another posting.
Bernard told me not to give out his Medjugorje leaflets on Oxford street as people throw them about but I am thinking of making my own little cards to hand out .
God Bless
