This Conference gathered 49 Provincials of the Franciscan Order from Europe as well as 5 General Definitors. World famous pianist Gergely Bogányi from Hungary held a concert in the Hall of the Blessed John Paul II in Medjugorje. This concert was of a humanitarian nature because all donations were given to Mother’s Village and he did it out of gratitude to Our Lady. Along with him, the young musicians from Surmanci opened this concert with theme: “Hungarian games” of Johannes Brahms. “This place is the most important in my life. It is important to give a message to people through the music, but here I came to give a concert to the place that means so much to me. I only have big gratitude in my heart”, said Gergely prior to the concert. (foto) Italian priest Fr. Giuseppe Sometti has been in Brazil in missions for the last 40 years. He spoke about his work in missions and of the experience of Medjugorje that he visited for the first time in 1985. Giuseppe said that he was happy when he heard about Gospa’s apparitions but he had a spirit of criticism within him because he had degree in paranormal activities. He is working with addicts and with abandoned children and this is what he said about his work: “I travelled to the islands where people who had terrible diseases lived and I was trying to give them medical help. They were involved in spells and black magic and that is why I spent five years studying psychology and parapsychology, so I could get to know that in the better way. I travelled to various places in Brazil and we tried to reveal to those people that they were not dealing with spirits but with something that was in their sub-consciousness. When I came to Sao Paolo I saw the world of drugs and lost children and I was very moved by that. I kept thinking what Jesus would do if He was there instead of me and then a revolution within me began. I wanted to feel and to get to know what God was asking of me.” Giuseppe came in that year seven times to Medjugorje and he had brought many people here. “I immediately understood that something special was taking place here. I was very moved by friendship with late Fr. Slavko. Medjugorje has many good fruits. After the experience with children and the Sabbatical Year that I took and after talking to Fr. Slavko, I decided to devote myself to the work with children. Now I have 80 000 children and we have 13 active homes. We educated those children and teach them to have some craft skills. Gainni Bovo, who converted and lives close to Padova arrived with Fr. Giuseppe and said: “I met Fr. Giuseppe twenty years ago and I am helping to him, I experienced my own conversion, came to Medjugorje on few occasions and with great joy felt how my heart was opening. This is a place of prayer and conversion because of Gospa’s intensive presence.” Damir Agicic from Slavonski Brod in Croatia came to Medjugorje for the first time thirty years ago. Ever since then, he comes to regular pilgrimages with his family or with groups of pilgrims to the Queen of Peace. He heard about Medjugorje from one of his colleagues during his student days. He spoke to his wife about that and two of them decided to come to Medjugorje after their honey moon spent at the Adriatic coast in 1983. “Before we arrived we always prayed to Our Lady and we wanted to come and thank Her for our marriage. We believed back then and even now, that we live Her blessing in fullness. What one feels here in Medjugorje are so many souls opened to the work of God and we felt that in the beginning and returned home spiritually refreshed and renewed. We were convinced later on in our lives that we received some spiritual strength during that first visit to endure everything that happened to us afterwards”, said Damir. His full testimony about Medjugorje is available in October edition of “Glasnik mira”. Lionello Melchiori and Gregorie Ahangbonon came to Međugorje. Lionello serves in the African missions and he lives in Genova at the moment. He said that Gregorie has special mission from God, it is to seek God in sick people and he found them among those most abandoned ones more than thirty years ago. He was born in Benin but since 1971 he lives in Ivory Coast. He is married and has six children: “I am not a doctor; I am a simple worker, a car mechanic. I can say that I received Catholic education, my father was Catholic and they baptized me when I was born. October is a month dedicated to Our Lady and numerous pilgrims are arriving every single day to Medjugorje. The Information Office registered groups from Hungary, Germany, Austria, Spain, Czech Republic, Poland, France, Italy, England, Ireland, the United States, Belgium, Romania, Ukraine, Switzerland, Canada, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. We had chance to meet Fr. Domagoj Simunovic from Slavonski Brod. He heard about Medjugorje in the very beginning from one of his colleagues and in 1981, he came with a bus of pilgrims from Slavonski Brod. Jilles Hodny from Switzerland came to Medjugorje three weeks after he began his journey. He is a parish priest in one valley in Switzerland and he served there for 26 years. It was this summer that his bishop decided to send him to another parish and he decided to come to Medjugorje before his transfer. He came here for the first time 25 years ago. It was just one day trip that did not leave too much impression on him. Wayne Weldschidt, a priest from Republic of South Africa, came to Medjugorje for his third visit. He told us that his priesthood vocation is a fruit of Medjugorje. It is interesting that he is the Director of Our Lady’s Shrine in Ngome and he sees major connection between the messages of Our Lady of Ngome where she introduced Herself as the Tabernacle of the Most High and messages of the Queen of Peace. One book about Medjugorje that he read changed his life and ever since that time he comes to Medjugorje as to his own home. The Feast of St. Francis, the founder of the Franciscan Order was solemnly celebrated in Medjugorje on Friday, October 4, 2013. The traditional service “Memoria Transitus” was held after the evening Holy Mass on October 3, 2013 at the White Dome of St. James’ church.

He began this pilgrimage of gratitude to the Blessed Mother for everything She gave him in his life. He did not make any accommodation plans and it was all in the hands of God’s providence. Bojan came to Medjugorje last year for the first time: “”That trip was beautiful, Holy Masses, homilies, climb of Apparition Hill but it is nothing comparing to the experience I just had”, said Bojan who thanked all who helped him on his pilgrimage.

Početkom studenog u Međugorju je u organizaciji studenata Hrvatske dominikanske provincije i mladih iz župe Kraljice svete krunice iz Zagreba održana duhovna obnova i hodočašće mladih. Ovogodišnje hodočašće u Međugorje organizirali su fr. Ivan Marija Tomić i Maja Marić, župljanka župe Kraljice svete krunice. Mladi su posjetili Brdo ukazanja i Križevac te sudjelovali u večernjem molitveno-liturgijskom programu u međugorskoj župnoj crkvi. Pri povratku, nekolicina mladih svjedočila je prisutnima o primljenim milostima na ovom hodočašću. U Međugorju je u ponedjeljak, 24. studenoga, obilježena 14. obljetnica smrti fra Slavka Barbarića. Večernju sv. misu u međugorskoj župnoj crkvi za pok. fra Slavka predslavio je fra Stanko Ćosić u suslavlju 25 svećenika. Fra Stanko je u propovijedi, između ostalog, kazao: „Na današnji dan se sjećamo čovjeka koji je svoje srce sjedinio s Majčinskim srcem Blažene Djevice Marije i poticao čovjeka da se vrati svome srcu. Fra Slavko je svojim djelovanjem i primjerom pokušao moliti, postiti, slaviti misu, ispovijedati se, govoriti, ali također i šutjeti srcem. I kao svaki prorok svoga vremena, ni on nije imao odgovore na sva pitanja, nego se sam nalazio pred pitanjima, u traženju istine. Fra Slavko je sve više otkrivao blago skriveno u dubini srca i poziva sve da traže to blago”. I na Križevcu se toga dana sjećalo pok. fra Slavka. U 14 sati molio se Križni put ,uz mnoštvo vjernika. Majčino selo, kojega je fra Slavko osnovao, prisjetilo se također svoga utemeljitelja. U ponedjeljak 24. studenog, četrnaesta je obljetnica smrti fra Slavka Barbarića. Umro je toga datuma 2000. godine , nakon završene pobožnosti Križnoga puta na Križevcu, a zemni mu ostaci počivaju na međugorskome groblju Kovačica. Na četrnaestu obljetnicu fra Slavkove smrti na Križevcu će se u 14 sati moliti Križni put, a sv. misa za fra Slavka slavit će se u 18 sati u međugorskoj župnoj crkvi sv. Jakova. Otac Paulo Sergio Correia boravio je u Međugorju sa skupinom hodočasnika iz Sao Paola, Brazil. Ovo mu je 4. posjet Međugorju. Kaže da je za Međugorje čuo u samim počecima, ali za dolazak se odlučio tek 2012.: „Neki župljani su dolazili ranije, i pokušavali su me dovesti u Međugorje. Sad sam došao da zahvalim Kraljici mira za sve što mi je pružila. I mislim da je najvažnija poruka Međugorja poruka mira. Zahvaljujem na gostoprimstvu koje sam doživio”. - kazao je otac Paulo. Međugorje je proteklih dana posjetio bračni par Jim i Silvina Curran iz Irske. Njihov život se zadnjih godina odvija na putu između Međugorja, Irske,i Argentine, a i promijenio se iz korijena u zadnjih nekoliko godina. Na sve je snažno utjecalo Međugorje i poruka Gospe, Kraljice Mira. Silvina kaže kako je prvi put posjetila Međugorje 2009. godine: „Kad sam prvi put došla, nisam znala što očekivati. No, čim sam stigla, osjetila sam mir i da ima nešto posebno vezano uz ovo mjesto. Zavoljela sam Međugorje na prvi pogled. Međugorje osjećamo kao svoj dom”-kazala je međugorska hodočasnica Silvina iz Irske.

Na svetkovinu Svih svetih i Dušnog dana groblja i posljednja počivališta postaju mjesta naše zahvale i sjećanja pa ih tradicionalno obilazimo i sjećamo se u molitvi svojih pokojnika. Tih dana na svim grobljima u međugorskoj župi slave se svete mise. Uz župljane koji žive izvan rodnoga mjesta, a redovito u ove dane pohode župu, u Međugorju borave i hodočasnici iz raznih krajeva svijeta. Tako Ured informacija, krajem mjeseca listopada, bilježi hodočasničke skupine iz Poljske, Češke, Mađarske, Slovenije, Belgije, Portugala, Njemačke, Austrije, Francuske, Italije, Engleske, SAD-a, Irske i Latvije. Raspored svetih misa, Svi sveti, subota, 1. studenog : U četvrtak, 23. listopada 2014., u 93.godini života od srčanog udara preminuo je otac John Chisholm, svećenik Družbe Duha Svetoga iz Irske, dugogodišnji međugorski hodočasnik. Otac John je svećenik od 1946., a u Međugorju je proveo šest godina od 2000. do 2006 godine služeći Bogu, Gospi i međugorskim hodočasnicima engleskog govornog područja. Dok je boravio sa svojom majkom, čuo je što se događa u Međugorju i oduvijek ga je želio posjetiti. Ubrzo nakon njene smrti, primio je poziv da se pridruži grupi koja ide za Međugorje i u tom tjednu potpuno se zaljubio u Gospu, ljubav kojoj je vjerno služio do kraja svog života. U Međugorju je u nedjelju, 26. listopada svetom misom, na vanjskom oltaru crkve sv. Jakova završeno 3. hodočašće za osobe s invaliditetom koje se održavalo pod geslom „U Marijinoj školi”, a ove godine je okupilo 1380 sudionika. Župljani župe Međugorje, 85 obitelji(pansiona,hotela, obiteljskih domova) osiguralo je besplatan smještaj hodočasnicima koji su pristigli iz Hrvatske, Slovačke, Slovenije, Poljske, Ukrajine, Litve, Italije i SAD-a. U Međugorju je u tijeku 3. po redu hodočašće za osobe s invaliditetom „U Marijinoj školi”, a ove godine je okupilo više od 1300 sudionika. Hodočašće je nastalo kao plod dugogodišnjeg hodočašćenja s. Rastislave Ralbovsky sa zajednicom osoba s posebnim potrebama iz Đakova. „Ja sam čvrsto uvjerena da je to Gospin plan, koji sam od početka naslućivala. Išla sam korak po korak. Vidim da je to Božje djelo.”-kazala je s. Rastislava istaknuvši kako joj je Međugorje u srcu od samih početaka. 3. po redu hodočašće za osobe s invaliditetom održava se u Međugorju od 23. do 26. listopada pod geslom: „U Marijinoj školi”. Hodočašće je okupilo više od 1300 sudionika, najviše njih iz Hrvatske, potom iz Slovačke, Slovenije, Ukrajine, Litve, Italije i SAD-a. Hodočasnike su i ove godine ugostili međugorski župljani. I ovaj put, kao i toliko puta do sada, pokazali su da imaju veliko srce i posvjedočili zašto je Gospa izabrala ovu župu na poseban način. Hodočašće koje je organizirala udruga „Susret“ iz Čitluka, u suradnji sa Župnim uredom i „Majčinim selom“ počelo je večernjom svetom misom, koju je u četvrtak na vanjskom oltaru crkve sv. Jakova predslavio fra Josip Vlašić ,župnik župe sv. Petra i Pavla u Mostaru. Sedamdeset i sedam hodočasnika iz župe Brestovsko posjetilo je u mjesecu listopadu Međugorje. Po samom dolasku u Međugorje, zaputili su se na Križevac, razmatrajući postaje Križnog puta i moleći krunicu, a potom su išli na Brdo ukazanja. S hodočasnicima s raznih strana svijeta sudjelovali su u večernjem molitvenom programu koji je započeo u 17h molitvom krunice na vanjskom oltaru crkve sv. Jakova. Svetu misu u 18h je predslavio župnik župe Brestovsko fra Damir Pavić. Međugorje je proteklih dana drugi put posjetio svećenik Mduduzi McHunu iz Južne Afrike. Pripada misionarskoj zajednici Oblati Bezgrješne. U razgovoru s novinarima radiopostaje Mir Međugorje kazao je da je prvi put čuo za Međugorje nakon jedne duhovne obnove 1999. „Vjerujem da je ovo mjesto na poseban način izabrano kako bi donijelo na određen način osvježenje, obnovu vjere, posebno u ovo vrijeme. Vidim dosta ljudi i u svojoj zemlji koji misle da mogu sve sami bez Boga. Mi to nazivamo krizom vjere. Iskustvo koje Međugorje nudi je zapravo Gospina majčinska ljubav i briga koju nam želi pokazati kako bi nas dovela natrag svojoj vjeri i Bogu, te Isusu, njenom Sinu ”. –kazao je svećenik Mduduzi iz Južne Afrike. Ovih su se dana svi članovi jedne irske obitelji odlučili okupiti na hodočašću u Međugorju. Međugorska hodočasnica i voditeljica hodočašća Mairead Peoples uspjela je okupiti 35 članova obitelji na jednotjednom hodočašću. Mairead je kazala da dugo godina dolazi u Međugorje. Prvi put je došla 1985. godine. „Svake godine dovodim hodočasnike, mislim da sam propustila samo jednu godinu, 1991. I sve ove godine, vidjela sam kako se životi ljudi mijenjaju. U našoj zemlji vjera je vrlo slaba. Dovodim ljude i vjerujem da Gospa za svakoga od njih učini nešto posebno. I volim da dođe moja obitelj ”-kazala je međugorska hodočasnica Mairead.
