Father of the family, Darko told us that he heard about Medjugorje in the first days of the apparitions and already next year he came on pilgrimage with a group from Slavonski Brod. “We’ve been following events in Medjugorje and we like to come here to the embrace of our Mother. So many times we were witnesses of Her love for all those we carry in our hearts. This is our second home”, said family Cindric who came here with prayer group Totus Tuus. The Meeting of the Spiritual Vocations from Brotnjo Deanery is traditionally held in the various parishes of Brotnjo Deanery. This year, the Meeting was held in Medjugorje on Monday, July 22 with 50 participants.

Three Holy Masses were celebrated in less than three weeks in the parish of Medjugorje: Fr. Filip Pavlovic on July 3, Fr. Mario Ostojic on July 7, and Fr. Josip Serdjo Cavar on July 21, 2013. Josip Serdjo’s motto for the First Holy Mass was a verse from St. Paul’s letter to Ephesians: “What a joy in His invitation!” Marinko Sakota greeted and welcomed everyone at the beginning of the Holy Mass and congratulated the newly ordained priest. The homily was given by Fr. Danko Perutina who thanked God for the new vocations that arose at the base of Apparition Hill and Cross Mountain. He emphasised the message from the Gospel, how Fr. Josip Serdjo needs to be both Mary and Marta, he needs to pray and to work. The Provincial of Herzegovina Province, Dr. Fr. Miljenko Steko, congratulated the newly ordained priest and his family. At the end, Fr. Serdjo thanked his family, all of the priests, seminarians, nuns, professors and all who were present there. Josip Serdjo was born on December 15, 1986. He was ordained as a priest on June 29, 2013 in the church of Sts. Peter and Paul in Mostar. Journalists of radio station “Mir” Medjugorje spoke to many pilgrims in the last days and we would like to bring one interview with pilgrim from Mexico. They spoke to Theresa, who came to Medjugorje for the first time two years ago. She came out of curiosity, after she received statue of Our Lady of Medjugorje. “Everything was amazing; I had time for confession, Holy Communion, prayer, adoration and Holy Mass. During one Holy Mass I felt Our Lady touching my heart and She was inviting me to conversion. After I returned home, I read a lot about Medjugorje and I felt that was what I needed to do. Here I am again, I came to our Mother.” Theresa also said that Our Lady’s messages helped her understand Medjugorje. “I like being here because this is a special place where one can spend time with the Lord in silence, leave all burdens and just listen to God without saying anything to Him.” The Symposium on Life and Work of Fr. Stanko Vasilj (1920-1993), will be held in Medjugorje on Tuesday, July 23, 2013. Participants are: Fr. Tomislav Pervan, Fr. Ivan Dugandzic, Fr. Robert Jolic, Ivica Sarac, Josip Muselimovic, Snjezana Vrbanec, Kreso Sego, Fr. Marinko Sakota. The Symposium will be held in the Hall of Bl. John Paul II at 4 p.m. Rosary will begin at 6 p.m., and Holy Mass is at 7 p.m. when Fr. Stanko’s songs are going to be performed. The solemn Academy will take place after the evening Holy Mass. Khaled Abu Sini, 25-years old young man from Nazareth came to Medjugorje for the first time and he was very grateful that his great wish was finally fulfilled. He told us: “Many people in Israel know about Medjugorje and messages of Our Lady. Every year, a pilgrimage from my parish is organised to Lourdes and to Medjugorje. Upon my arrival back home, I will tell all people I know to come to Medjugorje that is extended Nazareth, home of Holy Family. I feel that something moved me from inside. Joseph, Mary and Jesus lived in Nazareth many years ago and that is so important for us. Now, in this time, Mary is appearing here, She has been coming for so many years, She is alive. That is not just any story. I can feel Mary, She gives me strength, touches me from within, nurtures my faith that will always be strong regardless of whether I came to Medjugorje or not. I cannot describe that feeling in words, it is like an energy, an inner feeling”, said this radiating young pilgrim from Nazareth. Stanko Ćosić celebrated his First Holy Mass on Sunday, July 14, 2013 in the parish church of the Most Holy Trinity in Buhovo. The solemn celebration began with Procession at 11 a.m., and before the beginning of the Holy Mass, his parents gave him blessing and four young people gave appropriate recital. Parish priest from Buhovo, Fr. Pavo Filipovic greeted all present faithful, welcomed them and said how the whole parish rejoices because it is now 27 years since Fr. Petar Topić celebrated his first Holy Mass in their parish. Mario and Fr. Josip Serdjo, the newly ordained priests were concelebrating together with Provincial Fr. Miljenko, parish priest Fr. Pavo and thirty more priests. Nikica Devcic, priest from Province in Zadar, gave a homily. He wished for Fr. Stanko to be merciful Samaritan who would help people today, so he would heal the wounds to all, regardless of whether he knew them or not. The group of twenty four pilgrims came from Padua in Italy to Medjugorje on their bicycles. Gian Carlo was leader of this pilgrimage and he told us that they were inspired to do this pilgrimage by desire to get to know the messages of the Queen of Peace in the better way. “All of the pilgrims were united in their desire to come to Our Lady by bicycle, to come to understand Her messages and to receive Her invitation. We began our journey in Padua because St. Anthony loved Our Lady so much. This pilgrimage was a bit difficult, especially due to the bad weather, but our prayer helped us to prevail all of the difficulties we encountered. Every morning we were not certain whether we would continue our journey, but with prayer and help of Our Lady we were able to come to Medjugorje where one can really feel peace.” Gian thanked all people who helped them on their journey and said: “On behalf of my colleagues, I would like to thank for all good deeds done to us during our journey. We were led by St. Anthony and our Mother who leads us from day to day into the new experiences.” The 18th International Seminar for priests in Medjugorje, that gathered 297 participants from 23 countries was concluded on Saturday, July 13, 2013.

Govorili su nam o svojoj obitelji te glazbenom djelovanju. Otac obitelji Darko je kazao da je za Međugorje čuo već prvih dana ukazanja, a već je iduće godine s jednom skupinom iz Slavonskog Broda hodočastio Kraljici Mira. „Pratimo događanja u Međugorju u koje svojoj majci dolazimo u zagrljaj. Toliko smo se puta uvjerili u njezinu veliku ljubavi za sve one koje nosimo u svom srcu. Ovo nam je drugi dom“ – složno su nam kazali članovi obitelj Cindrić koji su u Međugorje došli s molitvenom zajednicom Totus Tuus. Susret duhovnih zvanja Broćanskog dekanata već pet godina održava se u različitim župama ovoga dekanata. Ovogodišnji susret, na kojemu je sudjelovalo 50-ak sudionika, održan je u Međugorju u ponedjeljak 22. srpnja. Nazočnima je o međugorskoj župi i pastoralnom djelovanju u njoj govorio fra Marinko Šakota, međugorski župnik. Sudionike su pozdravili dekan Broćanskog dekanata fra Mate Dragićević i načelnik općine Čitluk Ivo Jerkić. Tijekom susreta slavljena je i sveta Misa.

Jakovu, zaštitniku hodočasnika. U nepuna tri tjedna u Međugorju su Mlade Mise proslavila tri svećenika: 3.srpnja don Filip Pavlović, 7. srpnja fra Mario Ostojić i 21.srpnja fra Josip Serđo Ćavar. Fra Josip Serđo za mladomisničko geslo izabrao je citat iz poslanice Efežanima: „Koje li radosti u pozivu Njegovu!“ Prije početka Mise uvodnu riječ održao je župnik fra Marinko Šakota i čestitao mladomisniku. Propovijedao je fra Danko Perutina koji je zahvalio Bogu što pod obroncima Podbrda i Križevca nastaju i rastu duhovna zvanja. Fra Danko je mladomisniku naglasio poruku iz Evanđelja – da treba biti i Marija i Marta – i moliti i raditi. Uz hodočasnike iz nekoliko država svijeta, novinari Radiopostaje „Mir“ Međugorje ovih su dana razgovarali i s onima iz Meksika. Među njima je bila i Theresa, koja je prvi put u Međugorje hodočastila prije dvije godine. Tada je došla zbog znatiželje, nakon što je na dar dobila kip Međugorske Gospe: „Sve je bilo čudesno, imala sam vremena za ispovijed, pričest, molitvu, klanjanje i svetu Misu. Za vrijeme Mise sam osjećala kako Gospa dotiče moje srce i traži da se obratim. Nakon povratka s hodočašća puno sam čitala o Međugorju jer sam osjećala da to trebam činiti. I sad sam opet ovdje, kod Majke“ Theresa je također istaknula da su joj Gospine poruke pomogle razumjeti Međugorje: „Ovdje volim biti najviše zbog toga što je ovo posebno mjesto u kojem možete ući u svoje srce i biti s Gospodinom u tišini; možete ostaviti sve terete i samo slušati Boga, a ništa Mu ne govoriti’’. Dvadesetpetogodišnji Khaled Abu Sini iz Nazareta ovih je dana prvi put hodočastio u Međugorje, jako je zahvalan što mu se ispunila velika i davna želja. Između ostalog nam je rekao: „Puno ljudi u Izraelu zna za Međugorje i Gospine poruke. Iz moje župe svake godine se organizira hodočašće Kraljici Mira i u Lurd. Kad se vratim doma svima ću reći da obvezno odu u Međugorje koje je produženi Nazaret, dom Svete obitelji. Osjećam da me je ovdje nešto dotaknulo iznutra. Josip, Marija i Isus su živjeli u Nazaretu prije mnogo godina i za nas je to jako važno. Sada, u ovom vremenu, Marija se ovdje ukazuje, toliko godina dolazi, živa je. To nije samo neka priča. Mariju mogu osjetiti, daje mi snagu, dotiče me iznutra, snaži mi vjeru koja će uvijek biti jaka bez obzira došao ja u Međugorje ili ne. Ne mogu riječima opisati taj osjećaj, to je kao neka energija, neki nutarnji osjećaj“ – kazao je ozareni mladi hodočasnik iz Nazareta. U utorak, 23. srpnja, u Međugorju će se održati simpozij o liku i djelu fra Stanka Vasilja (1920.-1993.).

U nedjelju 14. srpnja 2013. u župnoj crkvi Presvetog Trojstva u Buhovu svoju Mladu Misu proslavio je fra Stanko Ćosić. Svečano misno slavlje započelo je procesijom u 11 sati. Prije samog početka fra Stankovi roditelji udijelili su mu blagoslov, a potom je četvero mladih iz župe izvelo prigodnu recitaciju. Buhovski župnik don Pavo Filipović pozdravio je nazočne, zaželio im dobrodošlicu, izrazio radost zbog mladomisničkog slavlja u Buhovu nakon 27 godina, kad je mladu misu slavio fra Petar Topić, te pozvao mladomisnika da započne svetu Misu. U koncelebraciji su bili ovogodišnji mladomisnici fra Mario i fra Josip Serđo, provincijal fra Miljenko, župnik don Pavo te još trideset svećenika. Fra Stankov propovjednik bio je fra Nikica Devčić, fratar Zadarske provincije. Zaželio je fra Stanku da bude milosrdni Samarijanac ljudima današnjeg vremena, da znadne liječiti mnogovrsne rane svim ljudima, znanima i neznanima. Na kraju svete Mise mladomisniku i njegovoj obitelji, posebno majci, čestitao je župnik don Pavo, koji je radošću zbog ovog događaja i dirljivim riječima izmamio suze mnogih. Provincijal fra Miljenko čestitke je uputio fra Stanku, njegovoj obitelji, i cijeloj buhovskoj župi, ali i Hrvatskoj katoličkoj misiji u Zurichu odakle se fra Stanko prijavio u Provinciju. Potom je kratku zahvalu Gospodinu i svima koji su mu pomagali na putu do svećeništva izrekao sam mladomisnik, a nakon zahvale isto tako je zamolio za oprost sve kojima u međusobnim susretima nije pokazao ljubav. Na kraju su trojica mladomisnika podijelila mladomisnički blagoslov.

Skupina od dvadeset četvero hodočasnika ovih je dana biciklima stigla iz Padove u Međugorje. Vodič ovoga putovanja bio je Gian Carlo, koji nam je kazao da ih je na hodočašće potaknula želja što bolje upoznati poruke Kraljice Mira: „Svi sudionici bili su složni da biciklima dođu do Gospe, do njenih poruka, do njenog poziva. Iz Padove smo krenuli jer je sveti Ante toliko volio Gospu. Hodočašće je bilo poprilično teško, poglavito zbog lošeg vremena zbog vremena, ali molitva nam je pomogla nadići sve poteškoće. Svako jutro smo razmišljali hoćemo li krenuti ili ne, ali uz molitvu i Gospinu pomoć stigli smo u Međugorje u kojemu se zaista udiše mir” - kazao je Gian koji je zahvalio svima na dobročinstvima tijekom puta: „U ime svih mojih kolega zahvaljujem za sva dobročinstva koja smo susreli i koja ćemo susresti na našem putu. Vodili su nas sveti Ante i naša Majka koja nas vodi svaki dan, iz dana u dan, u nova iskustva”. U nedjelju 7. srpnja 2013., u župnoj crkvi sv.

Na svetoj Misi propovijedao je fra Bože Milić, koji je naglasio da je Međugorje mnoge ljude potaklo da na svoj život počnu gledati drugačije i uviđati koliko je Bog važan u njihovim životima. 18. duhovne vježbe za svećenike održat će se u Međugorju od 8. do 13. srpnja 2013. „MARIJINA VJERA“ PROGRAM SEMINARA Četrnaesti međunarodni seminar za bračne parove, koji je okupio 150 sudionika, održan je u Međugorju od 3. do 6. srpnja 2013. godine.
