Vandalism has just occurred at the Marian shrine in Medjugorje, a place I have personally visited. The beloved statue of Our Lady on Apparition Hill was covered in black spray paint across its face, chest, and dress. The pedestal was defaced with a graffiti phrase that is too offensive to repeat here. A nearby statue at the Blue Cross prayer site was similarly defaced. Security cameras also captured a man setting fire to the outdoor altar at St. James Church. Of course, I feel sorry for the Lord and the Holy Mother, but most of all, I pity the misguided vandal or vandals for having offended God and condemned themselves.
