The Medjugorje Story: A Parable of Faith, Hope, and Divine Nourishment
In a world increasingly starved of spiritual truth, the Medjugorje story stands as a beacon of hope. For over four decades, the Virgin Mary has been appearing in this small village, delivering messages of conversion, peace, and divine love. These Medjugorje stories are not just accounts of supernatural encounters; they are parables for our time, teaching us how to live in faith and bring God’s light to a darkened world.
A Parable of Rescue and Renewal
One such parable comes from the Caritas Community in Alabama, where a dying dog named Dixie was found near death; malnourished, skeletal, and barely clinging to life.
