I was surprised, for me it was like a miracle, something unbelievable - how is it possible to arrange everything in few hours? At night I was in a bus which gone to Medjugorje. This trip – pilgrimage was hard for me, also very spiritual. First time since I become a mother I leave my family and gone somewhere alone, I felt like I betrayed them, like I cast something off from my heart. But when we came to Medjugorje I was pleased that I make this decision and came there. It was The 24th International Youth Prayer Festival, where were at least 50,000 young people from 60 nations all over the world presented their flag and all of them were united in faith to God. They all had fun, represent their countries, pray in all languages for our world. It was something amazing, unbelievable, unexplained. And I was really very surprised to see there a Scotland flag as well, before I didn’t realise that here are so many catholic people. We had an opportunity to partake in an apparition twice. I can’t explain it, this feeling, when you can’t see or hear something, but just feel that here is something, someone who cares about you, about everyone. There were thousands of people but all were so quiet like someone closes their mouth.
