Fruits of Medjugorje
Testimonies of Priests and Religious
Fr. Daniel Reehil
A Wall Street Banker who became a Catholic Priest
Enjoying the lifestyle of a successful banker on Wall Street, Daniel was renting a house in Amalfi, Italy for the summer. When a friend expressed a desire to visit Medjugorje, a place of Our Lady’s apparitions just across the Adriatic Sea, Daniel decided to accompany her. Despite the privileges and luxuries of his job, Daniel had, over the years, become very unhappy. He had started having nightmares which ultimately lead to months long insomnia. After a full nights sleep in Medjugorje Daniel woke up with a tremendous sense of goodness. He says the word peace is not enough to describe the feeling he had. That day he sought out a preist who would hear his confession after 20 years way from the Catholic Church. In this Fruits of Medjugorje video, Fr Daniel gives his testimony of conversion and his journey to priesthood.
Fr. Andrew Grace
How a rebellious young man became a priest
Coming from a big Catholic family, Andrew earned a nickname Bible amongst his friends. Not wanting to be known as goody two shoes, in his youth he began to rebel against his Catholic upbringing. Alcohol, drugs and parties took over his life. During this time, thirteen of his friends passed away from drug related causes. His parents, who had made a trip Medjugorje began to live Our Ladies messages and started to pray that their children may return to the church some day. In his testimony for the Fruits of Medjugorje series, fr Andrew tells the story of how Medjugorje changed his life and how a rebellious young man became a priest.
