STATEMENT OF THE HOLY FATHER ABOUT MEDJUGORJE This written testimony was sent to us October 9, 1997 by Mr. Marcello Pierucci, Via Castiglione 154, Bologna, Italy. "During the Eucharistic Congress that was held recently in Bologna, I hosted Archbishop Msgr. Maria Rizzi, former apostolic nuncio in Bulgaria, and now stationed in Rome where he works on the cause for beatification of servants of God. During a supper in the presence of my wife Anna and Msgr. Novello Pedezzini, Archbishop Rizzi narrated the following: 'I found myself in the private chapel of the Holy Father at morning mass. At the end of Holy Mass the Holy Father approached us and personally greeted all those present. Near me was Msgr. Robert Cavallero from the Shrine of Our Lady of Chiavari. When the Pope got close to us with the intention of greeting us, Msgr Cavallero said: Holy Father I am just now coming from Medjugorje. The Pope said; Monsignor, do you believe? The Monsignor answered: Yes, Holy Father! Bishop Cavallero asked the Pope: And You, Holy Father, do You believe? The Pope stopped for a moment in silence and then said at intervals: I believe. . .I believe. . .I believe. . .' The next evening at my request Archbishop Rizzi repeated this testimony in the presence of Msgr Novello Pedezzini and the bishop of Prato, Msgr. Gastone Simoni." I confirm the authenticity of this testimony with my own signature. Medjugorje, October 9, 1997 Marcello Pierucci [signature] Back to Medjugorje Page
