Letter from Pope John Paul II

Close friends of Pope John Paul II, Marek and Sophia Skwarnicki, sent a book on Medjugorje to the Pope with a letter sharing their experiences with Medjugorje. The Holy Father wrote back to thank them for the gift and said:

“It is comforting to hear the news about the reaction of God’s people, and the implementation of what is the most essential in all this event, which stimulates the zeal, the reconciliation of hearts, to worshiping the Merciful Father, to opening up hearts to the acceptance of Divine Mercy.”
