World-famous Medjugoje visionary Marija Lunetti, who says she has been seeing daily apparitions of the Virgin Mary since she was 16 in 1981, is planning a return to the site of her outdoor visions in Alabama next month.
Lunetti, who lives in Medjugorje, in Bosnia-Herzogovina, was one of six children who said the Virgin Mary began appearing to them daily in 1981. Their claims of simultaneous visions from the mother of Jesus has drawn millions of religious pilgrims to the small village that was in the former Yugoslavia before the Bosnian War from 1992-95.
The Medjugorje visions have been compared to the visions at Lourdes, Frances in 1858 and Fatima, Portugal, in 1917, which have been approved by the Roman Catholic Church. Lunetti toldon a previous visit she believes Medjugorje will one day be approved by the church, but not until she and the other visionaries have died because the messages are being monitored for possible heresy or statements against church teaching.
Caritas of Birmingham has led 295 pilgrimage trips to Medjugorje since it started taking tours there in 1986, taking a total of 15,000 pilgrims on the trips. Lunetti has not been to Alabama since before the pandemic, in the fall of 2019, when she attended the wedding of Colafrancesco’s daughter, Bridget. Her last public apparitions in the field at Caritas were in 2013. It’s not certain whether she will have one of her daily visions in the Shelby County field where she has previously done so, but crowds will be allowed to gather there for prayer, including for a “patriotic rosary” on July 4.
At the time, some predicted Pope Francis would issue a report condemning the visions at Medjugorje. So far, that has not been the case.
