Munich
Last year I visited Međugorje with my Dobri Pastir Dijaspora community from Munich. It is hard to describe that experience in words — it must be felt with heart and soul. Climbing Apparition Hill was difficult because my knees were swollen. I thank Our Lady and her Son because, despite the pain, I have not yet needed knee surgery, although doctors advised it. It is hard to describe being with our Mother — her presence and closeness must be felt.
