Columba Books

This is the fullest account yet given by the visionary Vicka of her story and extraordinary experiences with Our Lady. In 1981, Our Lady (‘Queen of Peace’) appeared to six children in the small village of Medjugorje. Since then millions of pilgrims have travelled from across the world to pray in this special place. Vicka is the eldest of the six visionaries. In conversation with Finbar O’Leary, Vicka tells of her special relationship with Our Lady and relays many of the Messages which the ‘Queen of Peace’ has given to her. Vicka also discusses her own physical and mystical sufferings and the journeys on which Our Lady has brought her. This book also contains an interview with Vicka’s mother, Zlata, who speaks for the first time about the family, family prayer and the Apparitions. Vicka’s youngest brother, Franjo also gives an account of his experiences as custodian of the Rosary Beads which Our Lady gave as a gift for the family.
