Hello. I am new. I only discovered this site yesterday. How wonderful that we can unite together like this. I don't know anyone I can talk to about Medjugorje. I went on a pilgrimage there in the year 2000. It was the most amazing experience of my life, it changed my life forever. I have never felt such perfect peace and love before. I miss it. I didn't want to come back to Australia. I could have died there and been happy. However, God calls us back to our lives and we must go on, be an example for others who are lost or perhaps have just never known God.
I am married with five young children. I feel I am very blessed spiritually but I'm a HUGE coward. Not many know how deep my faith is and what it means to me. I never talk about it for fear of rejection, to be laughed at. I am full of pride. I feel alone in this world because there are so few who believe. I feel strength from the Eucharist every Sunday, I think without it I would certainly go off the track. The world pulls me in all the time. To be superficial, to be attached to material things, to want more, to pray less, etc. The irony of it is when I do pull away from God, although I think I'm happy because I'm part of the world I'm actually not. I feel a void which only God can fill. So I go back to Him, beg for forgiveness and feel peace again. But it's on ongoing battle. I guess that's the journey of life? Does any of that make sense to anyone?
I'm so glad to write this down. Even if no-one should respond I feel a weight lifted just to write.
God Bless you all.
