The convention will feature the nationally known speaker, Christine Watkins. Christine Watkins, MTS, LCSW, formerly an anti-Christian atheist caught up in sin and the New Age movement, converted to Catholicism after receiving a miraculous healing from Jesus through Mary, which saved her from death. Moving away from her previous life as a professional ballet dancer with the San Francisco Ballet Company, she began a life of service to the Church. Now with masters degrees in theology and social welfare, she works as a spiritual director, licensed counselor, retreat leader, and national inspirational speaker. She has been featured on the Focus Television Network, interviewed for ABC Nightline’s Marian special, “The Miracle Mysteries,” as well as for numerous radio programs.
In her compelling best-seller book for Ave Maria Press, Mars. Watkins tells her dramatic story of miraculous healing and conversion, along with the stories of five others: • a homeless drug addict • a lonely youth • a Nobel Peace Prize–nominee • a nightclub stripper and a cocaine abuser.
All of these people share one thing in common: a visit to Medjugorje played a pivotal role in their faith journeys. Through her skillful weaving of these six stories, Watkins reminds us that Mary of Medjugorje intercedes on our behalf and that God loves each of us, even when we’re at our worst.
