The introduction says, "Prayer of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary: On April 19, 1983, Jelena Vasilj asked Mary how to consecrate oneself to her Immaculate Heart. Jelena reported receiving the following prayer of consecration (obtained from St. James Parish, Medjugorje)." The information I have looks like photocopies of mostly typewritten pages, some typeset. They're not from a book, and I believe it is part of a package he received in preparation for the trip. I have heard alot about the events in Medjugorje. Phil's warning about the errors in this prayer is worth noting. And considering the alleged source of the prayer, everyone should look carefully at *all* the evidence before making conclusive statements about the events. (I say alleged because my info doesn't have an author, isn't published, so is basically untraceable.) What I have found interesting is that the many people I know who have gone to Medjugorje seem completely focused on the *place* rather than on God and his role in their lives here, today.
