Diary Of Sister Emmanuel
Medjugorje - January 15, 1997

Dear Children of Medjugorje, Praised be Jesus!

* I have left Medjugorje and the winter for two weeks. On this
beautiful summer's day, I am writing to you from the Island of
Mauritius where a little Medjugorje team is carrying out a mission
before leaving for La Reunion to lead a retreat in a Foyer of Charity.
Please help us with your prayers. The locals show a great spritual
thirst. It's wonderful!

* Since August 2, 1987, on the second day of every month, Our Lady
used to visit Mirjana in order to pray with her for unbelievers. This
meeting was private, even her family was not present. Mirjana never
knew in advance the exact time when the Gospa would come or the
duration of the meeting which could last 5 minutes or up to several
hours. This year, on January 2nd, Mirjana told us that from now on,
this meeting would be open to all. Our Lady even mentioned at what
time she would come on February 2nd. This is a big change for which we
thank God. We will know later the practical formalities that will be
adopted in order to fulfil the Gospa's desire.

* Among the news about the "Medjugorje-Village", I would like to share
an encouraging testimony with you. Many people dream of coming or
returning to Medjugorje. But, the minute this thought comes to their
minds, they are confronted with insurmountable obstacles and the
project sinks. Among the major obstacles, one seems to be
uncircumventable whereas it is the easiest to overcome: I refer to the
lack of money. Many testimonies show that money is not a problem when
the call is there.

As we are in January, you are probably making plans for this year. Do
not hesitate to schedule a trip to Medjugorje if you wish to go there;
for the practical details, trust Providence!

Miss Eileen Call, of the USA, works in an office. She came to me last
August in Medjugorje and I asked her to write down for you what she
related to me: "When I first heard about Medjugorje, I was seized by a
flash of light. I knew in my heart that I had to go there. What I
really didn't know was where I would get the money! In March, 1996, I
was working on the Internet when it suddenly occurred to me to look
and see whether there were any web sites about Medjugorje. There were
many! I found Sr. Emmanuel's report where she quoted the message of a
pilgrim: 'If you don't have the money, ask the Gospa and she will get
it for you!' I felt such a powerful pull toward Medjugorje at that
moment that I committed to myself (and to God!) that I would come.
Then I prayed, asking to receive the necessary amount. A travel agent
told me the trip would cost me $1,500. It was expensive but I felt an
indescribable calm and certainty. The same day, my boss called me and
said, talking about the IBM project I was working on: 'I think that we
could get some award money for you; you should apply for it.'

It filled me with joy because I was sure I would get the $1,500 for my
trip. 'How much do you think I could get?' I asked her. 'Maybe as much
as $5,000!', she said. 'No, I only need $1,500.' 'You should apply for
$5,000 anyhow!'

After going through all the channels, the file came back to us and the
award granted amounted to $1,500! My boss was very disappointed, but I
was overjoyed by this friendly sign! I had received exactly what I
needed, to the dollar!

Today is the last day of the pilgrimage to Medjugorje. My heart has
been filled beyond every conceivable hope and I am writing this
testimony in order to encourage everyone to dare ask; because you will
get what you need! (Medjugorje - August 12, 1996)."

Dear Gospa, when you think it's appropriate, you call us, you send us
the money and pour the graces... You are the one who opens the doors,
we trust in you!


Sr. Emmanuel
