St. James Church in Medjugorje as seen this morning, October 9, 2013.
Sr. Briege Mckenna, an Irish sister with a special healing ministry to priests, was in Medjugorje recently. She was present at an apparition of Medjugorje visionary Marija and after the apparition Marija, with much joy, introduced Sr. Briege and asked her to pray over the crowded room of pilgrims. Sr. Briege became associated with Medjugorje in the very early days of the apparitions, even before the apparitions began. In May 1981, just one month before the apparitions began in Medjugorje, Sr. Briege was in Rome taking part in a special worldwide gathering of members of the Charismatic Renewal who were invited to come to St. Peter’s by Pope John Paul II for Pentecost. Sr. Briege has relayed the story that during these days of prayer she met a group of priests from the Mostar diocese in Yugoslavia. One of the priests asked Sr. Briege to pray with him for the youth of his region who were succumbing to the propaganda of the communists and losing the faith. Sr. Briege explained what happened during that period of prayer:
“…What I saw was this Croatian priest
sitting in the main celebrant's chair in front, and he was looking into
the body of the church, and it was packed with young people. And from
behind him on the altar there were streams of water, like rivers flowing,
and the young people were cupping it and drinking it, and after they
would drink it they would go out and bring others in. I said to him,
"You know Father you don't have to worry, because many young people will
come to your church." I shared this with him… I told him that I saw a white church with two huge steeples.
And when I said this, almost immediately, Father Emile Tardif, who is a
Sacred Heart Priest, a missionary...walked over and got this prophetic
word. He could not have heard what I had just said because I was
speaking to another priest who was translating to the Croatian Friar.
But Fr. Tardif walked over and said, "You know, Father, Our Lady is going to visit your church.”
Less than a month later, the apparitions in
Medjugorje began. Ten years later, the communist regime that was trying
to smother the faith of the people fell and religious freedom was
eventually restored in this region. Our Lady said,
April 4, 1985
When you turn to the last book in the Bible,
Revelation, to the last chapter of that book, chapter 22, you will read
the following:
“Then the angel showed me the river of life-giving water, sparkling like crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of its street. On either side of the river grew the tree of life that produces fruit twelve times a year, once each month; the leaves of the trees serve as medicine for the nations.”
Beginning on January 25, 1987, Our Lady began giving a
monthly message to the world, 12 times a year, once each month, on the
25th of every month. The message goes throughout the world, to every
nation on earth. Her words bring healing, rebirth, reconciliation,
renouncement of sin, return to holiness—they are medicine for the
nations. This “church with two huge steeples” from which Sr. Briege saw
streams of water flowing from its altar is now known worldwide for the
millions of pilgrims who have traveled to it seeking the “life giving
water” that flows from the holy village of Medjugorje, so blessed by Our
Lady, Queen of Peace. The name of the church is St. James, named after
the apostle, St. James the Greater, who happens to be the patron saint of pilgrims.
