Medjugorje Miracles
Source: http://www.medjugorje.org/orec.htm
From the beginning, the Medjugorje apparitions were accompanied
by many unusual phenomena, both in the sky and on the ground,
especially by miraculous healings. I, myself with about a
thousand pilgrims, experienced one unusual dance of the sun.
That manifestation was so unusual and obvious, that everyone
without exception classified it as a miracle. None of those
present remained indifferent, which I myself was convinced
of by questioning the others who were present. The joy, the
tears, and the statements of those present strongly confirmed
it. From their words it could be seen that they understood
that manifestation as a confirmation of the authenticity of
the apparitions, and as an incentive to respond to the Medjugorje
messages by accepting them. And that is the real purpose of
miracles: to help people believe and live by faith because
they stand in the service of the faith and of the salvation
of people.
Regarding the luminous phenomena in Medjugorje, a professor
employed in Vienna, an expert in that field, admitted to me
that he studied them in Medjugorje for a week. At the end,
he told me: "Science has no answer to these manifestations."
Although judgment about miracles does not belong to any natural
science nor to science in general, but to theology and faith,
nevertheless, the judgment of science is very important because
where it leaves off, faith takes over. It is very significant
that many events were understood by the faithful as a real
miracle. They understood their significance and, whether they
experienced them for themselves or through others, they felt
themselves obliged to accept the Medjugorje messages as an
obligation. It is difficult to say precisely how many of these
miraculous events have taken place in regards to the Medjugorjeapparitions.
However, it is well known that several hundred of them have
been reported and attested to. Several of them have been thoroughly
examined and scientifically-theologically elaborated, and
there is no serious reason whatsoever to doubt their supernatural
character. It suffices to mention just a few of them.
Mrs. Diana Basile, born October 5, 1940 in Platizza, Cosenza,
Italy, suffered from multiple sclerosis, an otherwise incurable
disease, from 1972 till May 23, 1984. In spite of the expert
help of the professors and doctors at the clinic in Milan,
she grew more and more sick. By her own desire she came to
Medjugorje and was present during the apparition of Our Lady
in a room connected to the Church and was suddenly healed.
All of that happened in such a quick and thorough way that
on the following day the same woman walked barefoot 12 kilometers
from the hotel in Ljubu ki, where she spent the night, to
the apparition hill in order to thank Our Lady forthe healing.
Ever since then until today, she has remained well. Upon her
return to Milan, the doctors were astonished by her healing
and immediately established a medical commission which was
again thoroughly to examine both the previous and present
condition of the healed woman. They collected 143 documents
and, in the end, 25 professors, head doctors, and other doctors
wrote a special book about the disease and the healing in
which they stated that Diana Basile indeed did suffer from
multiple sclerosis, that for many years she was unsuccessfully
treated, but that now she is completely well and that this
did not happen by any kind of therapy, nor by any kind of
medicine. They, thereby, indicated that the cause of the healing
was from a different than scientific source.
Another more significant miracle happened to Rita Klaus of
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA, a teacher and mother of three
children, born January 25, 1940, who for 26 years suffered
from multiple sclerosis. She was also one that neither doctors
nor medicine were able to help. Reading the book about Medjugorje,
Is the Blessed Virgin Appearing in Medjugorje? by Laurentin-Rup~i},
she decided to accept Our Lady's messages. And once while
she was praying the rosary on May 23, 1984, she felt within
herself some unusual warmth. After that she felt well. And
from then till today the patient is completely well and capable
of doing all her domestic and school work. There is a solid
medical documentation about her sickness and her futile therapy
and likewise a professional certification of the doctors on
her extraordinary and incomprehensible healing, which is complete
and permanent.
There are still other healings pertaining to Medjugorje which
took place suddenly and thoroughly They are more or less expertly
examined. But some of them have not at all yet been analyzed.
It is not ruled out that among them there are some cases just
as great as those already analyzed. With miracles it is critical
that they originate from God and that they serve the faith,
but it is not important for them to be "big". It
is rather people of good will and open to the truth that will
recognize them rather than biased scientists and versatile
critics because they often shut themselves within boundaries
where a miracle "must not" and "cannot"
happen.
