Bishop Jose Luis Azcona Hermoso from Brazil said about Medjugorje:
“I know people from the north of Brazil, professors and industrialists, who were atheists, and who were converted in Medjugorje some 15 years ago. Now, they go to Mass every day and are very active in the Church. There is a big difference between pilgrims who come here and those who go somewhere else. The experience of Medjugorje is an experience of conversion. Pilgrims speak in a different way about other places. Here, lives are changed. I see authenticity of the conversions of Medjugorje.â€
