Queen of the Cosmos: Interviews with the Visionaries of Medjugorje

by Janice T. Connell

“The Blessed Mother has been permitted by God to come here [because] she knows what is coming in the future. She is calling all God´s children back on the path to Heaven.” –Ivan Dragicevic, a visionary

Over twenty years ago, in the tiny mountain village of Medjugorje, Bosnia, six young people began to report seeing visions of the Virgin Mary. Since then, the beauty of Heaven and the importance of prayer, conversion, and reconciliation have been revealed to them through Mary´s appearances. Queen of the Cosmos provides an opportunity to hear the messages of the mother of Christ through in-depth interviews with the six visionaries of Medjugorje. Their experiences have changed the lives of thousands of people who have found truth, encouragement, and solace in the words of the Blessed Mother. This new edition includes an afterword by the author, giving an update on both the lives of the visionaries and the visions they receive.

I loved this book about the visionaries at Medjugorje. Written in an interview style with each chapter focusing on each visionary it is a quick but powerful. It left me feeling inspired and reflective. I highly recommend.

The apparitions at Medjurgorje as some of the most involved in the history of the Church. Six men and woman have experienced the Virgin Mary and her messages. Investigators have found the Visionaries "guileless." Simple people reporting what they have seen and heard.

As a book, it's short and and easy read. It's message is clear. Peace in Christ.

As a testament to the faith, it is what it is. The testimoney of six young "Visionaries" who have seen appraitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Some have seen the apparatitions daily for more than a decade. They speak of the need for prayer and fasting.

Medjugorje is a 3 hour drive from Podgorica, Montenegro. We should have driven over when we were in Podgorica in 2018. A pilgimmage site, and by all accounts, extremely peaceful.

The author of Queen of the Cosmos interviewed the visionaries regarding the apparitions of The Blessed Virgin Mary they received in Medjugorje twenty years ago and the messages they continue to receive from our Holy Mother. This book has helped me understand the miracles that took place then and are still taking place to this day. Reading about the unbreakable faith of these visionaries has helped to strengthen mine. I know I will read this book again at some point, to deepen my appreciation for the information contained within.

Audio would have been better with voice changes for the interviews because it did get a little confusing who was speaking at times, interviewer or visionary.
