Famous pianist from Croatia, Prof. Vesna Podrug Kossjanenko held pianist recital in the Hall of St. Joseph in Mother’s Village on Wednesday, March 12. The concert was organised by the Elementary Music School Ljubuski in cooperation with Mother’s Village and Fr. Dragan Ruzic, Head of Mother’s Village greeted all present at the beginning. She performed the works of L.V. Beethoven, F. Schubert, F. Liszt and F. Chopin. Prior to the concert Prof. Vesna Podrug Kossjanenko said for radio station Mir Međugorje that her concert in Medjugorje was realised in a very short notice. Couple of years ago, I met student Ana Coric from Mostar and two weeks ago I told her about my desire to perform in Mostar with the programme I had prepared for the concert in Split. The concert in Mostar did not take place unfortunately, but after a while Ana told me that I could perform in Medjugorje. Here I am today, at my surprise”, said this famous ianist that was born in Split and began her music education in the class of Prof. Gordana Lentic. In 1986, she began to study in Hochschule fur Musik und darstellende Kunst in Vienna, and already during her student days she performed many recitals. She performed with many famous artists and held many concerts in Austria, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Switzerland, Ireland, Great Britain, Finland, Turkey and Croatia. In the period from 1998 -2008, she was performing the duty of permanent co-repetitor in Vienna National Opera, and from 2002 – 2008, she worked as pedagogical associate at the University for Music and Art in Vienna. Since 2007, she works as docent for piano at Art Academy in Split. The ceremony of reception into the Third Franciscan Order as well as of the solemn vows of several members took place on the first Sunday in Lent, March 9, 2014 in the parish church of St. James. During the morning Holy Mass at 9.30 a.m. nine members of the brotherhood gave their solemn vows, two of them temporary and eighteen of them were received into the Order. Regional Minister of the Third Franciscan Order in Herzegovina, Marija Brnadic received their vows and regional spiritual assistant of the Order, Fr. Ljubo Kurtovic, confirmed those on behalf of the Church. He celebrated that Holy Mass, and Fr. Ivan Landeka Jr., the spiritual assistant of the brotherhood, concelebrated. Ivan prepared candidates for this solemn act and provided all spiritual care that was needed, with the help of Mila Culjak, regional teacher of formation. Small choir of parish of St. James, conducted by Sr. Irena Azinovic, made this celebration even more beautiful with their harmonious liturgical singing. Mons. Adriano Langa, OFM, who used to be the General Definitor of the Franciscan Order, and now is a Bishop of Diocese Inhambana in Mozambique came to the visit to our Province. He was accompanied by Fr. Stojan Damjanovic and they visited Medjugorje, Humac and Mostar. His brothers were glad to welcome him in all of these places and they introduced him to the life and work of the Province and he was happy to hear all that. He also gave a presentation of his own Diocese that is stretching over 68.000 square meters and is 700 kilometres long. He has 22 parishes, 650 Christian communities and 43 priests. The people there are very poor and he was grateful for the least help he could receive for his Diocese and faithful. Mons. Langa was in Medjugorje before and came here for the first time in the mid 90’s, just of the curiosity because he heart about this place from brothers Franciscans who were serving in Congo. During his visit in 2012, he told us that he got to know Medjugorje as a place of prayer: “I always say to people that Medjugorje is a place that one needs to get to know, because Medjugorje is inviting us to prayer, it is a place of encounters with God.” Medjugorje was home for all participants of the 3rd National Seminar for Leaders of Formations and those responsible in brotherhoods of the Franciscan Youth. The seminar was held from March 7-9 with the theme “The one who loves Christ is full of joy” (Pope Francis) and this seminar gathered around 110 members of the Franciscan Youth from the various parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The national assistant of the Franciscan Youth of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Fr. Danijel Rajic, as well as the regional assistant of the Franciscan Youth of Herzegovina, Fr. Slaven Brekalo took part together with the representative of the national council of the Franciscan Youth of Croatia, Marta Rados. The goal of this seminar was to touch the importance of formations in brotherhoods with the special emphasis on formations during the period of sympathising the brotherhood, time when the youth gets to know it. The seminar began with gathering of participants in the hall of the Blessed John Paul II, and then Holy Mass followed in the parish church of St. James. All participants also took part in the lectures, and during the group work they discussed current formations in the local brotherhoods, the difficulties that those responsible in the Franciscan Youth are facing as well as the problem solutions. On Sunday, March 16, we will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the construction of the cross on Cross Mountain and we will remember celebration of the first Holy Mass that was celebrated on that day at the foot of that cross. The Anniversary will be celebrated as follows: on Friday, March 14, there will be prayer of the Way of the Cross at 2 p.m., while on Sunday, March 16, all those who have built the cross will be specially remembered in the Holy Mass at 11 a.m in the church of St. James. After the evening Holy Mass at 7 p.m. there will be the Solemn Academy, when documentary movie about Cross Mountain will be shown. Rudolph Karg, 57 years old man from Germany has been coming to Medjugorje ever since the beginning of the apparitions. He witnessed that in 1984 his sister explained Medjugorje in details and he came here because of her. He said that it was that trip that changed his life: "I came here and realised that Gospa has been coming to this place. That was a great gift for me" said Rudolph who together with his friends and organisation had helped many places in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the war. „We understood all problems and difficulties of people in Bosnia and Herzegovina very quickly. In humility I need to admit it was all because of Medjugorje. I feel blessed to be here. Medjugorje is something really impressive and simple and I got the gift to understand Medjugorje with my heart. I am no longer discussing anything with other people, I only say to them to come and to experience Medjugorje. I always try to bring young people here”. Rudolph also participated in the 21st International Meeting for organisers of pilgrimages, group leaders and prayer and charity groups that was held from March 3-7 in Medjugorje. Marinko Sakota, the parish priest of Medjugorje parish, celebrated Holy Mass on Friday, March 7 and that was at the same time conclusion of the 21st International Seminar for group leaders in Medjugorje. Marinko, who was the lecturer at this seminar spoke in his homily about things that we were meditating upon in the previous days. “We thought about where and when we make mistakes. That is why we have Mary as a model and that is why the theme of this seminar was “Behold, your Mother”, so we could learn from Her in the way She is doing and in the way She speaks to us. She is doing everything with Jesus, with God. Through all of the topics that we touched, we could see how important it is to live with Jesus. That is what the Queen of Peace is saying to us here.” This encounter gathered around 250 participants from 17 countries and was held from March 3-7, and the programme consisted of lectures, discussions with lecturer, prayers on Cross Mountain and Apparition Hill as well as participating in the evening prayer programme in the church of St. James. (photos) Alfred Heck from Germany participated in the international meeting for group leaders, organisers of pilgrimages and prayer and charity groups regarding Medjugorje. He also took part in the first such meeting that he gladly recalled: “There were around 50 of us from various countries. We had genuine family atmosphere. My personal experience is that in these years various Franciscans have been with us to guide us, but each one of them left the impression of love and sincerity in conducting this seminar. On Monday, March 3, with registration of participants, the 21st International Meeting for organisers of pilgrimages, leaders of peace centres and Medjugorje prayer and charity groups, has began in Medjugorje and there are 250 participants from 17 countries: Italy, the United States, England, Ireland, Russia, Latvia, Ukraine, France, France, Spain, Korea, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The theme of this meeting is "Behold, your Mother", and the lecturer is Fr. Marinko Sakota, the parish priest of Medjugorje parish. The participants, besides lectures and discussions with the lecturer, they are also participating in the evening prayer programme in the church of St. James, and they will also climb Apparition Hill and Cross Mountain. Marinko, as he spoke about the theme of this seminar, said that Mother was given to us and She is with us: " She guides us and we would like to become aware of that because so very often we forget that She is here. She is our mother who guides us and loves us and that is why we need to hear and follow her. As Jesus said to Ivan "Behold, your mother" in the same way we need to hear what is that She is saying to us. That will be theme of these lectures." Number of Holy Communions: 28 800 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 623 (22 per day) The 21st International Meeting for Organisers of Pilgrimages, Leaders of Peace Centres and Međugorje Prayer and Charity Groups will be held in Medjugorje from the 3rd to the 7th of March 2014. The theme of the gathering is: “Behold, your Mother” (John 19, 27) PROGRAM On Saturday, February 15, 2014, the postulants of the Franciscan Province of Bosnia Argentina visited postulants of Herzegovina Franciscan Province. Eight postulants from our province together with their leader Fr. Stanko Mabic met all postulants from Visoko and their leader Fr. Danijel Rajic. Danko Kustura from Split came to Medjugorje for the first time soon after the apparitions have began and continued coming at least twice a year ever since. He lived all of his life as a Christian, but it was the apparitions in Medjugorje that have strengthened his faith. He regularly reads Catholic newspapers, and despite his modest pension allowance, he gladly gives a gift of annual subscription to “Glasnik mira”, monthly bulletin from Medjugorje, to his family and friends. He said that news about Medjugorje have spread so fast in the very beginning and he came here on April 10, 1983 for the first time. Holy Mass for all killed Franciscans during and after the World War II, as well as for all parishioners killed in the First, Second and recent Homeland War was celebrated in the parish church of St. James on Monday, February 10, on the feast of Blessed Alojzije Stepinac. Up to this day, graves of so many killed persons have remained unknown, but memory on them is still alive in hearts and prayers of faithful. Ivan Dugandzic celebrated the evening Holy Mass with six priests that have concelebrated. The members of band “The Apostles of Peace” from Zagreb/Madjarevo were in Medjugorje not long ago. During their visit they came to radio station “Mir” Medjugorje and shared their personal experience of Medjugorje, as well as their own testimony of praising God with song. They said how every time they come to Medjugorje, they feel peace that cannot be described in words. “It is always nice to come here, to recharge our batteries and later on to return to everyday life, to obligations we have, but every time with Mary’s blessing that is present on every step. One can feel here really special joy and special love.” This band for spiritual music was founded in 2000, and so far they have performed at many prayer meetings.

Za 32. obljetnicu Gospinih ukazanja u Međugorje su mnogi hodočasnici došli pješice. Među njima je i skupina od 29 hodočasnika iz Rame čiji je hod do Međugorja trajao tri dana. Neki iz ove skupine redovito dolaze na zavjet Gospi pa im je ovo, rekli su nam, dvadeset i neko hodočašće. Svi su došli sa svojim osobnim problemima, zavjetima i željama kako bi svojom poniznom i ustrajnom molitvom zahvalili Gospi na darovima i bili sudionicima proslave obljetnice. „Što smo bili bliže Međugorju osjećali smo veću snagu i mir“ - kazali su nam hodočasnici iz Rame. Obljetnica Gospinih ukazanja u Međugorju svečano je obilježena u utorak, 25. lipnja 2013. Uz hodočasnike iz Hrvatske i Bosne i Hercegovine, u Međugorju su u većim organiziranim skupinama boravili hodočasnici iz: Engleske, SAD-a, Irske, Kanade, Mađarske, Švicarske, Austrije, Njemačke, Koreje, Francuske, Poljske, Italije, Ukrajine, Japana, Slovačke, Češke, Belgije, Portugala, Brazila, Slovenije i Rumunjske. (slike) Vidjelica Ivanka Ivanković Elez imala je redovito godišnje ukazanje 25. lipnja 2013. Prigodom posljednjeg svakodnevnog ukazanja 7. svibnja 1985. Gospa je Ivanki, povjerivši joj posljednju, 10. tajnu, kazala da će tijekom cijelog svog života imati ukazanje jedanput u godini i to na obljetnicu ukazanja. Tako je bilo i ove godine. Ukazanje, koje je trajalo 2 minute, Ivanka je imala u svojoj obiteljskoj kući. Ukazanju je bila nazočna samo Ivankina obitelj. Nakon ukazanja vidjelica Ivanka je rekla: Gospa nije dala poruku. Blagoslovila nas je svojim majčinskim blagoslovom. Marinko Šušak, Širokobriježanin koji živi u Zagrebu i njegov prijatelj Dragutin Bosak iz Krapine, u nedjelju 9.lipnja nakon misnog slavlja u zagrebačkoj katedrali i blagoslova na grobu blaženog Alojzija Stepinca krenuli su na zavjetno hodočašće Majci Božjoj u Međugorje. Geslo njihova hodočašća bile su riječi: ‘’U križu je spas!’’. Noseći veliki križ i hrvatski barjak u Međugorje su stigli na uočnicu Gospinih ukazanja, 24.lipnja,. Dva prijatelja, Hercegovac i Zagorac, ispunili su svoje zavjetno hodočašće moleći krunicu za hrvatske uznike u Hagu, zaboravljene i obespravljene branitelje HV-a i HVO-a, te za svoje obitelji. Hodočasnički križ su blagoslovili prije mjesec dana na stratištu, jami u kojoj su spaljeni i pobijeni i spaljeni hercegovački franjevci u Širokom Brijegu. Po okončanju hodočašća u Međugorje križ će predati Viceposlutaluri mučenika na trajno čuvanje i spomen ovog križnog puta za Domovinu i hrvatski narod. U ponedjeljak, 24. lipnja 2013., tisuće hodočasnika sudjelovalo je na 22. Hodnji mira Humac – Međugorje. Nakon pozdravnoga govora hodočasnike je na vanjskom oltaru crkve sv Ante na Humcu križem blagoslovio humački gvardijan fra Velimir Mandić. Uz molitvu i pjesmu u čast Kraljice Mira sudionici su pred međugorsku župnu crkvu sv. Jakova stigli oko 10 sati, gdje ih je dočekao fra Danko Perutina. Tom su prigodom sudionici Hodnje mira i drugi nazočni vjernici sudjelovali u pobožnosti klanjanja Isusu u Presvetom Oltarskom Sakramentu i primili blagoslov s Presvetim. Hodnju mira je 1992. pokrenuo Hubert Liebherr, organizator hodočašća iz Njemačke. Zgrožen ratom na ovim prostorima, s nekolicinom prijatelja Međugorja iz inozemstva pješice su hodočastli od Humca do Međgorja jer su povjerovali Gospinim riječima da se krunicom i ratovi mogu zaustaviti. Međugorje će u utorak, 25. lipnja 2013. proslaviti 32. obljetnicu Gospinih ukazanja. Na uočnicu - blagdan sv.

Svaki od hodočasnika ima svoju povijest vezanu uz Međugorje. Primjerice, Judy Paterson dolazi iz Južne Afrike i ovo joj je deseto hodočašće Kraljici Mira. Judy nam je, između ostaloga, posvjedočila: „Došla sam se zahvaliti. Imala sam mnoga iskustava. Prije tri godine ovdje sam doživjela ozdravljenje. Bila sam jako bolesna, liječnici su mi bili prognozirali još tri tjedna života. Skupila sam snagu, došla sam i molila, a kad sam se vratila doma ja sam ozdravila. Trebalo mi je mnogo vremena, ali sam ozdravila. Došla sam zahvaliti Gospi jer je moje ozdravljenje došlo preko našega Gospodina i Gospe. Znam da su mi oni dali zdravlje.“ Za 32. obljetnicu Gospinih ukazanja u Međugorju međugorski župljani i hodočasnici pripravljat će se devetnicom koja počinje u subotu, 15. lipnja 2013.

Vida i Jurja u Mađarevu u varaždinskoj biskupiji boravili su 1. i 2. lipnja u Međugorju. Pjesmom i sviranjem uveličali su subotnju večernju svetu Misu, a u nedjelju su hodočastili na međugorska brda. Tom prigodom su posjetili i Radiopostaju „Mir“ Međugorje te ispričali kako je započeo njihov put, kako je Gospodina slaviti pjesmom, ali i osobno iskustvo Međugorja. Duhovna glazbena skupina Apostoli mira osnovana je jubilarne 2000. godine i otada animiraju molitveni život mladih u svojoj župi ali i drugim mjestima. Nastupili su na brojnim molitvenim susretima. U četvrtak 30. svibnja 2013. u Međugorju je svečano proslavljena svetkovina presvetoga Tijela i Krvi Kristove – Tijelovo. U ovome svjetski poznatome molitvenom mjestu toga dana boravile su brojne hodočasničke skupine iz: Austrije, Njemačke, Engleske, SAD-a, Irske, Italije, Slovačke, Kine, Poljske, Francuske, Španjolske, Ukrajine i Rumunjske.
