My Medjugorje Testimony

By Nora Garganera

Sometime in October 1989, I received a letter from Fr. Ken Metz, administrator of the Vatican’s International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Office. I was being invited to represent the local Charismatic community in my province of Iloilo to an international Charismatic Congress.

It seemed like a truly impressive event! But I had to write to Fr. Ken about the financial problem of going to Rome and he wrote back suggesting I “beg” from the people I represent. The province of Iloilo, including the city itself, had 84 active prayer groups and after approaching less than 20 of them, my round-trip airfare, other expenses, and even pocket money were already provided for. (First little miracle: When I purchased my Philippine Airline (PAL) ticket, P7000 was deducted from the total fare and returned to me. Someone in the office had put in a good word for me, but I never found out who my angel was.)
