Just ask Fr. Jozo what he thinks about this village and the Marian messages the people receive. At one time, he didn’t believe. He was as skeptical as they come. One night as he was praying in the church, he heard a voice: “Protect the children.” He wrote it off at first-- he didn't see any children in the church. But it bugged him. So, he went outside and there were some children being chased down by the police. The children were the ones who had been receiving the marian messages; and the Communist government at the time wanted to silence them. Fr. Jozo then started to believe. As his belief grew, so did his good works. Now he has started a rehabilitation center near Medjugorje that helps children with disabilities and children who are orphaned.
