Testimony of Fr. Petar Ljubičić - My experience of Medjugorje

Petar Ljubičić was born in 1946 in Herzegovina. He says his mother could not have children during the first five years of her marriage, so she offered prayers and sacrifices to the Lord to give her children, promising to consecrate them to Him. The Lord heard her prayer and Fr. Petar was the first of ten children. From an early age he wanted to be a priest, and after primary school he entered seminary. He studied in Sarajevo and Germany, where he was ordained a priest in 1972. In 1984 he arrived in Medjugorje and remained here for more than 10 years as parish vicar. In 1995 he went on mission to Switzerland and Germany, and in 2008 he returned to his homeland. Currently, he is a vicar in the parish of St. Pascalin Vitina, about 20 km from Medjugorje, where numerous pilgrims visit him. In the continuation of this article, Fr. Petar tells us about his experience of Medjugorje.
