In 2004 the Rozeluks received an official invitation from the Bishop of
Ivano-Frankivsk Eparchy, Sofronius Mudry, to visit Ukraine and present
their mission of Our Lady of Garabandal.
“I am
very grateful to the Rozeluk family when they arrived here and went to
our churches and gave testimony to their own miracle that they experienced.
He himself was miraculously cured in Garabandal through the intercession
of the Blessed Virgin and the miraculous medal, through which real miracles
of God occur.
He was badly injured, with no hope of recovery and there he gained that miraculous cure. Since then he has become a missionary, proclaiming that through Mary, one can be healed and, when he wished to visit our Ivano-Frankivsk, our eparchy, I very gladly agreed to it because our people are thirsty for a closeness with God. They thirst for an acquaintance with Mary.
And they
have already made two wonderful trips here to our churches, and here also
– many miraculous events occurred through the intercession of Mary. Paralyzed
children began to walk, children who did not speak, began to talk.”
Helen Rozeluk: We
must always remember one thing: Some people call us healers. This is incorrect.
Neither Michael nor I are healers. We only have a gift, a grace from God, that
God has permitted us to have in our possession these medals with the kiss of
the Mother of God. It is Her kiss that acts. She promised that, through Her
kiss on these blessed objects, Her Son would perform miracles. And the Son,
Jesus Christ, being absolutely obedient to His Mother, fulfills these promises.
It is He who acts through these medals, not Michael, not I, not anyone else.
Every
person, who holds a blessed object like this in his hands and prays with it,
can obtain the same graces, because it is the kiss from Heaven that acts upon a
given person, and not the person who is holding the object.
FATHER ZINOVY KASKO, Pastor of Radcha,
Ukraine
“What has been happening
these last days in our village, in this chapel, in this place, is difficult
to explain. It cannot be submitted to logic. I can only repeat the words
of Elizabeth, who said to the Blessed Virgin Mary:
‘Whence is it that the
Mother of my Lord has come to me?’
Wonderful
things are being revealed to us by the Blessed Virgin and wonderful things
are happening here among us through Her intercession. I am holding in my
hands this medal from Garabandal – the kiss of the Blessed Virgin for sinful
people, a kiss that with great, boundless power performs miracles.”
"The
phenomenon of the medal is incomprehensible to all. For me, it is very
simple and easy. That kiss of Mother Mary on the medal has, of course,
left its specific imprint on the image on the little icon of Our Lady.
To explain it, I cannot, and probably no one can explain it, this fact
of the presence of the kiss and its action on this medal.
But there
is something else here which I, as a priest, can permit myself to say.
Every person that goes to this medal and has some kind of hope through
the kiss, to receive something for him or herself, whether for the body
or for the soul, every person, without exception, has a certain doubt.
This doubt, to a greater or lesser degree, makes more or less real the
influence of this kiss of the Mother of God for the person who touches
this medal. The person who is praying, who is holding the medal in his
hand, in this case whether it be Helen or Michael or even I, each one is,
to the person who needs this prayer, a certain guarantor of the truth of
it to the person who approaches the medal.
Through
our prayers, through the prayer of the one who is holding the medal, he
somehow obtains more strength, more courage and so the state of his soul
now increases the presence of the blessing of Mother Mary’s kiss. It suffices
for that person, simply to believe that through this touch, he/she will
receive the graces he hopes for and it happens instantly. It happens so
instantly that people often fall into a very wondrous state of beatitude.
One cannot explain this in any way. I have experienced it and I like it
very much.”
ED: At the end of this second missionary visit to Ukraine, the Rozeluks wrote the following words in their journal: “What a priceless gift You have given to us, Mother Mary! Who could have imagined that all those miracles that we witnessed, were the result of Your Kiss? Yes, dear Mother Mary, Your Kiss travels throughout the world!”
