I'm not Catholic so I don't know how much info I can provide, but a good high school friend of mine became a priest due to the miracles he witnessed in Medjugorie in 1987.

Since it has been so long ago what I remember him telling me about that trip was that whenever these kids (they were young adults at that time) would see the virgin Mary, that test showed their eyes would diolate exactly the same as if something was blocking the sun.

He told me that the message these kids were supposed to relay was that He was coming soon and to spread his word. We were 19 back in 1987 (but I was a much younger 19!) but that experience had such a profound influence on him that in 1998 I was privileged as a non-Catholic to see him ordained.

I know. I've seen that too. It's eerie. I've seen tests where one of the kids was poked with needles (I'm talking big needles) and didn't even flinch. There is no adequate scientific explanation for this.

Her main message to the children was "Pray to Jesus. Pray ceaselessly." Sounds like something Mary would say. She also told them that the twentieth century was given over to Satan for him to unleash all evil, but God would overcome him. Have you ever read Walker Percy's "Thanatos Syndrome"? At the end of the novel, the priest character talks about this message from Medjugorje.

"Our Lady" of Medjugorje is not from God. I can say this definatively because she has advocated the false doctrine that all religions are equal.
