FROM BACK COVER

The apparitions of Medjugorje have lasted for seven years. This is the news: For the sixth anniversary (June 25, 1987), an unprecedented crowd: 150 confessors, and the second annual apparition of Ivanka, which the author narrates.
On July 25, 1987, Msgr. Zanic's sermon against the apparitions, and the respectful and peaceful welcome by the provoked parishioners. A beautiful test of the deep spirituality of Medjugorje. The response of the Bishop's Conference to Msgr. Zanic and his indictment.
The private and official medical and scientific works on the apparitions. The astonishing cures of Medjugorje. The stage of the controversies, and a response to the critics. The marvelous fruits among the seers, in the parish and the world. The apparitions are the source of numerous vocations. New religious families are founded on the message of Medjugorje. Praying communities in a new style which makes one think of the spiritual developments around St. Francis of Assisi. The latest messages (Spring 1988).
