She came here for the first time when she was 6 years old and said: „I grew up in a catholic family with wonderful parents, but when I was between 16 and 18 years of age, I got astray in some things and I started to go away from God and my faith. I thought my problems were too big and that He cannot help me. I was not able to handle my difficulties at all.

I thought my problems were too big and that He cannot help me. I was not able to handle my difficulties at all.
My family and people that knew me, were aware of what was going on in my life. I can say that prayers of my parents brought me back to the church, to my final surrender to Jesus and to my ′yes′ to Him. When I did that, my life began to change. It was very hard in the beginning as I used to still suffer because of my problems. Two years ago,I felt I should visit some holy place where I would feel as if I was at home. I felt great desire to come to Medjugorje. I heard about Medjugorje when I was a child, and when I returned to my faith, I started going to Holy Mass again. The first thing I wanted to do was to confess and Medjugorje was in my heart. The main message of Medjugorje and of Our Lady is prayer."
