About this ebook
Warren Buffett, this is a true story. I have your Holy Rosary from Mother Mary. Please take it from me. Please! It's too precious! It's too powerful!
In September of 2007, Jozo Ostojić-Josić, the Great Stone Artist of Međugorje, created for Warren Buffett the most unique and powerful rosary the world has ever seen. Jozo enlisted my reluctant help as courier of this priceless work of art because I am from Warren's hometown of Omaha. Failing at every attempt to deliver, in prayer Mother Mary suggested a business proposal.
And what a proposal it is! First, I had to start a non-profit corporation, the Go-Mommy Medjugorje Foundation, to spread Mom's word and provide free therapy for victims of childhood sexual abuse. Then we offered a wager to Warren that an apparition will occur on September 9, 2012, in Međugorje (What? Mom!) Secondly, with Warren's help, we want to beat Fatima and set the all-time apparition attendance record. Thirdly, we have to organize Gospa Jam, a six-day music fest I want to throw for Mom in Mostar. Then I'm going to stop using Warren's rosary. It's wearing me out!

I am Mark Steven O'Neill, and only use the Steven to help differentiate myself from three other Mark O'Neills living in Omaha. A life-long resident of Omaha, Nebraska, I was thankfully educated by the Jesuits at Creighton Prep, graduating in 1972. I received my B.S.B.A. from the University of Nebraska at Omaha at the age of twenty-five, A few hours of theology at Creighton University in my early thirties was the last of my formal education. I have survived childhood sexual abuse, manic-depression, grand mal epilepsy, homelessness, assholes, paraquot, heroin, lsd, opium-laced hash, mescaline, pcp, psychedelic mushrooms, cocaine, white crosses, thorazine, lithium, xanax, ninety-seven chigger bites at one time and in one place, ditch-weed brownies, three days in five-point restraints, six arrests, the clap, the crabs, seventeen fist fights, an abortion from a marriage to a woman who is in the U.S. Marshal's Witness Protection Program, Blatz Light, bad music, one car wreck resulting in temporary paralysis and two spinal surgeries, cab driving, bouncing, pipe covering, more assholes, multiple sclerosis, and the Will of God. Now that's an education!

Mother Mary’s Medjugorje Message on December 25, 1989:
Dear children! Today I bless you in a special way with my motherly blessing and I am interceding for you before God that He gives you the gift of conversion of the heart. For years I am calling you and exhorting you to a deep spiritual life in simplicity, but you are so cold. Therefore, little children, I ask you to accept and live the messages with seriousness, so that your soul will not be sad when I will no longer be with you, and when I will no longer lead you like insecure children in their first steps. Therefore, little children, every day read the messages that I have given you and transform them into life. I love you and therefore I am calling you all to the way of salvation with God. Thank you for having responded to my call.

This book is dedicated to Fr. Jozo Zovko, Fr. Slavko Barbarić, Fr. Carl Sodoro, Bruno, Draga, Ivana, and Niko Kikaš, Marija Zdilar, Ljuban Pavlović, Andrej Subić, Bonnie O’Neill, and especially the visionaries and parishioners of St. James Parish in Međugorje. Your persistent care, concern, and work for the nearly forty million pilgrims visiting your ancestral land since 1981 to deepen their relationship with Mother Mary and her Holy Family shall never be forgotten. Neither shall a certain stone artist ever fade from my heart.
Jesus said, "Whoever drinks
From my mouth will become like me;
I myself shall become that person,
and the hidden things will be
revealed to him."

Chapter One
The Creation of Warren Buffett’s Holy Rosary
Warren, Podbrdo is the hill on which our Mother Mary first appeared to her six children on the 24th of June, 1981. They call her Gospa, Croatian for the Lady.
I call her Mom, and because of her Son and his Father, I’d live in my car through a Nebraska winter for her. Mom’s apparitions have continued to this very day creating a worldwide spiritual phenomenon known as Međugorje. This June will mark the thirty-first anniversary of her apparitions and her messages. On the 2nd of every month, Mom gives a message specifically for the unbelievers. On the 25th of each month, she gives a message for the entire world. Approximately 1.3 million pilgrims visit Međugorje each year.
Warren, when pilgrims travel to Međugorje, almost every single one of them at some point climbs Podbrdo. The start of the nearly perpendicular path off the main road through the village of Bijakovići is paved with an amalgamation of concrete, brick, stone and pebble. It rises fairly sharply, but even a cripple like me can handle it as long as I rest every eighteen feet. The path is lined on both sides with souvenir shops selling religious items, while some places also offer espresso, soda pop, pizza, Italian gelato, wine, and beer. The path is lined by shops in such a fashion for maybe eighty yards before the worn yet dangerous stones signal the essence of Podbrdo and Mother Nature is upon you. Warren, Mom first appeared maybe another 120 yards up this unbelievably stony hill, in this unbelievably rocky land. (#1)
