Author Bio
Sister Emmanuel tells that after receiving her first calling to the Beatitudes Community in 1976, she received another calling – to serve
Our Lady in Medjugorje. Sent by her community, she initiated the first
branch of the community in Medjugorje in 1989. During the Balkan war in
the 90s, Sister Emmanuel became known for her regular faxes about the
situation in Herzegovina, always related to the mission of Our Lady.
She has had an enormous impact on France, stimulating an extensive
response to Medjugorje among French pilgrims, but her apostolate has
broadened as her books have been translated into 22 languages and she
has traveled widely to make Medjugorje known, particularly in the United
States. Today, “Les Enfants de Medjugorje” and “Children of
Medjugorje, Inc.” allow her to be connected everyday to thousands of
people around the world, who are motivated by and spreading, the
messages of Our Lady in their own humble way. Sister says that her
greatest joy is to be part of a family formed by Our Lady, and being Her
extended heart and hands for her children, especially those who do not
yet know the love of God.
