My world began to change


Gisella Barreto: „After coming to Medjugorje, I felt as if my world began to change”

A pilgrim from Argentina, Gisella Barreto came to Medjugorje. Gisella is a very famous person in Argentina and in the other countries of Latin America as well. She won several times at the beauty contests, became TV hostess, and even though she lived in the world of glamour, none of that ever made her happy. She came to Medjugorje in 2010 as a result of her mother’s desire and that is when her world started to change. She does not work in media anymore, she does not live in the world of glamour, but she witnesses instead of that and teaches religion in schools and she said how only now she feels happy and blessed in her life after so many years. Gisella told us that she came here to thank Gospa in Medjugorje. She said that her mother was always a pillar of faith in their family and that she raised her four children in the faith. She had beautiful childhood but it all changed in the time of adolescence. That is when she was attracted to the world with all of its challenges. Gisella was very pretty and that is when she entered the world of glamour. She won at several contests and was a semi-finalist at the contest for Miss Argentina. “That life was seemingly nice and attractive, it was actually a true trap of the world. I always looked unhappy and my mom used to tell me to surrender all to God. She was in Medjugorje on three occasions and showed me Our Lady from Medjugorje and told me to thank Her for all. It was after that visit to Medjugorje that my life began to change. This is where I understood that it is not enough just to be a good person, but our soul needs to be filled with God. It was through the emptiness in the heart that the world starts to enter within us.”     Source   http://www.medjugorje.hr/en

What a clear massage! We can get so occupied now days, that we don't seem to realize we are emptying our hearts from the Holy Spirit.Then the world runs the heart! Oh Father in Heaven, please keep our hearts filled with your loving Holy Spirit.May we never get so caught by All the many worldly sidetracks, that man has made in our times.Amen

Dear Gisella, Will you please pray for my daughter, 14 years old, who is also attracted to the things the world offers. She has friends that are pulling her away from God, and are on the wrong path. I am asking God to send angels to surround her, and that Our Lady of Medjugorje will help turn her life around. She needs to be filled with God's love, and soon before things get worse. Please pray that the new Christian school will accept her application and help her start a new life with promise and hope. Thank you for your prayers. God Bless You!
