  • Raised in a Catholic household, Nicola Leonard was an atheist at heart. Upon entering college, she stopped practicing her faith and didn’t believe in God anymore throughout her twenties. After declining numerous invitations from friends to visit Medjugorje, a Marian apparition site, she eventually accepted one day without much consideration. Little did she know that this trip during the Holy Week would shatter her convictions, soften her hardened heart, ignite her spirit, and transform her life completely!

    A Medjugorje prayer group helped me after I came back to the Sacraments. Pope John Paul II helped me come back to sacraments when he visited US. I never went to Medjugorje, but the prayer group taught me to pray alot which helped me to persevere in going to the sacraments.

    My childhood upbringing had been Catholic with Columbian Fathers most of them Irish. They colored my life as they accompanied me to grow in the faith. Some were strict, kind and generous, funny. I can't forget Rev Fr. Patrick Crowley, Rev. Fr. Patrick Farrell, Rev. Fr. Hanafin, etc. God rests their souls!
    You are reclaimed by the Lord. You are His!!!! Praises be to God!

    Yay! Usually converts to Catholicism who come from Protestantism and are very intellectual, say that they have had to struggle with the concept of Mary.
    I want to say, What? The CONCEPT of Mary? She’s not a concept!
    Because I, like you, was just overwhelmed by Mary, and the wonder of her.

    The witness and testimony of Nicola Leonard was one of the most powerful and moving I have ever heard. The tears are still streaming down my face. Please let he know how much I appreciate her sharing her story with us. My hope is that my son will one day have a conversion and come back to the Catholic faith. I pray the rosary almost everyday and that is my most fervent prayer. THANK YOU so much for sharing this story. I feel it a blessing to have found your channel.

    I am so happy you converted. Your story is a joy to listen to. I am hoping my husband realises how much Jesus loves him. Many souls and people on Earth are under Godless worldly influences. Its so great your children will have the benefit of faith in Jesus and Mother Mary. I was happy when I first discovered the monthly Medjugorje message to Marija. The guidance to pray, fast, say the Holy Rosary, go to Mass and adore Jesus are all heavenly. I also have devotion to The Divine Mercy and say the three o'clock prayer. Saint Maria Faustina's Diary is a gift to read. God bless you.

    Wow, what a spectacular production!!! Fantastic story; moved me to tears. The Lord and Our Lady are GOOD!!!!! The woman told my own story; I have the same history!! Conversion from turned-away Catholic from birth, to total and complete lifelong conversion from a visit to Medjugorje (in my case, in 1990, also I believe for Holy Week). Small difference, in my case, the 180° turn around took 3 years. The Lord was gracious with timing for me, as I am a very slow mover with regard to everything, and he obviously knows this about me (ha ha; probably created me that way.)... So happy for this woman and her family. Thank you for the great film and story!! Loved the tack-on info about the miraculous image of Our Lady in Columbia; I hadn't known this!!! ❤❤❤

      They won’t be blessing the couple they can bless them the same as you going to a priest for a blessing. The “union” won’t be blessed. It also will not take place in the church itself. There will be no marriage or blessing of a marriage. Of course, there will likely be rogue priests who do not obey the rules and we need to pray for them.
