The Fruits of Medjugorje

"BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM"
When we speak of the fruits Medjugorje bears for the Church, even critics are silent. Today pilgrims - both Christian and non-Christian - arrive at Medjugorje from every corner of the world. With more than 16 million visitors, the site has become the scene of an exceptional spiritual revival. More confessions are heard in Medjugorje than in any other parish of the entire world; more than 150 confessors work without interruption here every day. In the year 1990 (before the outbreak of civil war), 1,900,000 people took Communion (more than at Fatima); 30,000 priests and bishops have visited the site. Many conversions are reported, even among those who come out of curiosity, or simply to accompany friends or relatives. In the USA 600 Medjugorje prayer groups have been formed; in Austria 500; and several hundred in Italy.

As one of the books, The Fruits of Medjugorje, by Elizabeth Ficocelli, relates, "it is claimed that more confessions are heard at St. James Church in Medjugorje than in any parish in the world, keeping more than 150 confessors busy every day. It is reported that more than 30,000 priests and bishops have visited the Croatian village. In 1990, at the peak of political unrest and just prior to the outbreak of civil war, 1.9 million people received Communion in Medjugorje, surpassing even the popular shrine at Fatima."
