Rev Michael Grzesik - Story of conversion and a vocation to priesthood

Though he grew up in a Catholic family, Michael fell away from the church as soon as he moved out of his parents home. He dropped out of college and started travelling across the USA in search of something. Eventually he ended up living in a tent in Hawaii. Michael’s mother, who always kept track of his whereabouts, one spring gave him a book by Wayne Weible about Medjugorje. Upon reading that book, Michael slowly started coming back to the church and in 1993, when he visiting his girlfriend in Paris, he decided to visit Medjugorje as well. Rev Michael tells the story of his conversion and a journey to priesthood which began in Medjugorje.

I feel very lucky to say I have known Reverend Michael since his Hawaii days. His story and journey is true. He is one of the most amazing people on the planet and a real gift from the Lord. God Bless You, Michael.

Thank you Father for sharing your testimony. I was in Medjugorje in January 1990 and 1991. I saw a rosary turn gold before my eyes . I witnessed the miracle of the sun when I was in Medjugorje and I witnessed it when I got home. I remember Fr Jeff telling us to go with an open mind and heart. That's what I did. My life has never been the same. A friend shared with me a question: If God is not as close as He once was; Who Moved? The Answer: I am the one who Moved .

Good tree, gie a good fruit!!! Joy in my heart to hear. Your story. Thanks for listening the Call and be a Priest!!

[@alicekapolas3210]

I have been following Medjugorje ever since my Mother went in 1981. I was 18. I was married at 21 ( Married 37 years to date.) I must say as much as I deeply want to go, I’ve never felt a strong calling? I’ve followed as best I can what are Blessed Lady has asked ( I can always do better.) All these testamonies are amazing but I get sooo sad it’s been 41 YEARS and I haven’t gone yet.Maybe one day I’ll be climbing that mountain ( Hopefully before I’m 100 !! 😂)

[@houstonka]

I hope you can soon be in Medjugorje. Where do you live, does in your area church organize pilgrimage to Medjugorje? Maybe you can contact them.

Mark 7:6

[@garyshields2734]

It is the most terrible tragedy of the entire Church, all over the world, by all of the Christians; that all of the parishioners, don't say Mass for themselves and families and clergy. I'm not ordained by human hands, but trust me in this, I'm Very Very Very Ordained. I taught two protestants how to say Mass in minutes. I told them that I would prove to them that this works, and at 12 PM tomorrow, they would feel a buzzing sensation going through them. "That will be God going through them as I say Mass for them at 12PM," I told them. Exact at 11:55 AM the next day, I felt a buzzing sensation going through my body, like someone was saying Mass for me. They were just believing protestants and unordained, uneducated, and believers in Jesus, Our Lord and Savior. That is all, One male and One female. About 12 years ago, I said Mass for myself, and asked God to give me the knowledge of the future. About 9 years ago, I looked right into the future to see Obama win his election by 281 electoral college votes, "three days," before the voting took place. I immediately spread it all over Twitter and sent tweets off to Nancy Pelosi, MSNBC News, Kelly O'Donnell, Obama about seeing the final vote of 281; and the tweets are still on Twitter under Gary James Shields, on that time line spoken about above. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE. You could have all of the Parishes, all over the planet, praying for you both to live another hundred years with age regressing body's. You could have some praying for you to have Angels with you to talk to, Healing Powers, the Ability to Walk in the Water, To be bullet proof, to be invisible whenever your need to be, to be able to levitate and fly, A N Y T H I N G ! ! ! 500,000,000 Masses all said on the same day for you two; and you would have snapped your fingers and things would have been done for you. There is still time. Time is of the Essence ! ! ! DON'T IGNORE ME ! I Speak from Experience, Verily. Ask me what to ask God to give to you and I will instantly pray and say Mass for you to receive it. Reply to me in this comment section, and I will do it for you. Faith is, replying to this message and telling me what you would want. The rest is up to me and God. Those who call upon the Name of the Lord, shall not be disappointed. .............................................................. _______________________________________

[@bornbranded29]

What do you mean by saying mass?

[@garyshields2734]

@@bornbranded29 What it says. All of the body of the Church members don't say Mass individually for themselves or other people. I'm not ordained but it works like crazy for me. People I've just met can tell when I'm saying Mass for them. The early clergy and parishioners, must have feared the rich people in Rome and allowed a hierarchy to be established. That hierarchy is pure belligerence. Anyone can do it. It is meant to be a do it yourself short ceremony whenever you eat and drink. End of subject.

[@flavianabwire4590]

Please pray for my family, to have a long, happy life, and a united family. My husband reopens his business offices. For my children to keep the faith and have a bright future each.
