Summary
"I looked at Paul and said to myself, 'I want a husband, but… it better not be him.' Paul, meanwhile, mumbled, 'I just met my wife… I just met my wife.' And, I said, 'I don't think so.'" (laughter)
----------
As Elizabeth and I prepare for our fourth pilgrimage to Medjugorje with listeners this October, I was reminded of a beautiful conversation I recorded three years ago in Medjugorje with Monica and her husband Paul at visionary Marija's pansion.
That memory came rushing back after hearing "Waltzing Matilda" playing in my head while receiving a WhatsApp message from Monica in Australia.
Their remarkable love story is wrapped in faith, providence, humor, and the loving influence of the Blessed Mother.
In the show notes, you'll find pilgrimage details through Padre Pio Pilgrimages, including information about where we'll be staying in October, along with a link to episode 404 featuring Michael Campanelli -- founder of Padre Pio Pilgrimages -- and his powerful Medjugorje conversion story.
Elizabeth and I hope you can join us this October!
