Doubting Judas Dr. Glamuzina Story – Medjugorje

“Dr. Glamuzina, the skeptical pediatrician who examined us that morning, came to observe the apparition—or, more precisely, to observe us during it. Witnesses said that her look of skepticism changed to fascination when she saw our faces. She asked Vicka to present a few questions to Our Lady and Vicka agreed to do so. “Ask her who she is,” Dr. Glamuzina said. Vicka presented the question and Our Lady replied, “I am the Queen of Peace.” “How can we have peace when there are so many different religions?” asked the doctor. Vicka relayed the question and Our Lady answered, “There is but one faith and one God.” Dr. Glamuzina asked why Our Lady chose to appear in Bijakovići of all places. “I came here because people pray and have strong faith,” she answered. The doctor then asked if she could try to touch what we were looking at, and we presented the question. “She may,” said Our Lady. We directed Dr. Glamuzina to Our Lady. The doctor reached out, but Our Lady suddenly ascended and disappeared. Dr. Glamuzina immediately turned to us with a look of distress on her face and said, “She’s gone, hasn’t she?” “Yes,” said Vicka. “She’s gone.” “Did she say anything?” “She said, ‘There have always been doubting Judases,’ and then she left.” Dr. Glamuzina’s face filled with sadness. She descended the hill with an astonished look on her face. She declared that she believed us, and, soon after, she returned to her Catholic roots and even started singing in the church choir. “When I tried to touch Our Lady,” she said, recounting her experience, “I had this incredible feeling. It was as if I knew that she was leaving and in what direction. I later confirmed it with the visionaries. At first, when they told me what Our Lady said about doubting Judases, I was offended. But then a clear and peaceful realization came over me: these children really see Our Lady! I was indeed like Judas: I wanted to unmask them. I did not believe them. But after my experience, I was ashamed and I felt a deep humility before the grandeur of Our Lady who read me and—like a good mother—gave me a warning.”” (62-4).
