Early Holy Masses are celebrated in Medjugorje every day at 6 a.m. starting with December 2, 2013 and those Holy Masses are opportunity for parishioners to prepare for celebration of Christmas – the birth of Jesus. Novena prior to Christmas will begin on Sunday, December 15 until December 23 with prayer of the Rosary every day at 2 p.m. The evening prayer programme is according to the usual schedule with Rosary at 5 p.m. and Holy Mass at 6 p.m. Adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament will be every Sunday after the main Holy Mass at 11 a.m. for the parishioners. The members of Cenacolo community are fixing the scene for the live Nativity performance that will be held during the Christmas time. We are again in our favorite time of the year, time of the preparation for Christmas, time of Advent. It is the time when we unite our past, our presence and our future. We recall the past because we remember Christ’s first coming when He opened the doors of salvation, doors that were closed and chained due to sin. We look into the future, because we look into Christ’s second coming that will be complete expression of the gift that we anticipate at this time. We look into the presence when we can joyfully acclaim: “Our Lord is coming!” by living presence in the constant anticipation of His act of our salvation and His final coming. That is why present time for Christians is a time when they are directed towards promised eternity in Christ who gives meaning to the time that we live in and turns it into the experience of eternity. Therefore, the lost time is not the time when we failed to do something, but the time when we were not aware of the fullness of the time. That is exactly why we have new opportunity in every Advent to wake up, to open our eyes and to live joy of everyday life. Christian is a man of hope who walks in hope, faith and love in his life. Advent – time of preparation for Christmas began on Sunday, December 1, 2013. Early Holy Masses are held in our parish church every day at 6 a.m. except on Sundays and those Holy Masses are going to be broadcasted live on radio station Mir Medjugorje. The schedule of prayer programme is the same for Croatian and foreign pilgrims. Parish Office has encouraged all families to pray more intensively together and to participate in the prayer programme that is held in the church and on hills in this special season of Advent. In the following four Sundays of Advent, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will take place also after the main Holy Mass at 11 a.m. This is the quiet period for our parish and there are groups of pilgrims from Italy, the United States, Germany, Austria and Korea. Number of Holy Communions: 66 300 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 1324 (44 per day) On Sunday, November 24th we will commemorate the 13th Anniversary of Fr. Slavko's death. He died on that date in 2000, after having prayed the Way of the Cross on Cross Mountain. In the honour of late Fr. Slavko there will be devotion of the Way of the Cross on Cross Mountain at 2 p.m and Holy Mass will be celebrated at 6 p.m. in the church of St. James. After the evening Holy Mass at 7.30 p.m., there will be meditation for parishioners in the Hall of the Blessed John Paul II. Members of the Franciscan Youth from Medjugorje, together with their spiritual assistant Fr. Stanko Cosic, as well as with their regional spiritual assistant Fr. Slaven Brekalo, visited Switzerland from November 7-11, 2013. They visited Croatian Catholic Mission in Zurich and Croats in Switzerland. After they returned, some of them were guests at the radio programme of Radio Mir and they spoke about their journey. While in Switzerland, they played theatre spectacle “Quo vadis fili” and the audience responded well to that play. Romano Nardin and Fr. Mario Dall'Arche from the archdiocese Vittorio Veneto in Italy, and Bruna Calesso, group leader who came for 140 times to Medjugorje, were our guests at the radio station few months ago. Romano came to Medjugorje as a spiritual director of group of pilgrims and he felt that was one wonderful mission for him: “It is a great grace to come to Medjugorje as a priest, because we can witness so many fruits of our faithful. I heard about Medjugorje in 1982 for the first time and came here in 1996. Back then, I also came as a spiritual director and if I am not mistaken, this must be my thirteenth pilgrimage to the Queen of Peace. The National Seminar of the Permanent Formation of the Third Franciscan Order was held in House of Peace in Medjugorje from November 8 – 10, 2013. This seminar was organised by the Herzegovinian regional fraternity and the theme was “The Gospel and Life”. The leader of the seminar that had more than 50 participants from Bosnia and Herzegovina was Fr. Ante Vuckovic, professor at the Catholic Theology Faculty in Split. National Minister Nives Kanecev, Minister of Herzegovinian Regional Fraternity Marija Brekalo and Zeljko Majnadzic, Minister of Bosnian Regional Fraternity of “Kraljica Katarina”. National spiritual assistant of the Third Franciscan Order, Fr. Ljubo Kurtovic and Fr. Danijel Rajic, national spiritual assistant of the Franciscan Youth were also present. Marija Puljić, Third Franciscan Order and Franciscan Youth from Bosnian Province Pilgrims from Italy, France, Portugal, Germany, the United States, Singapore, Canada, Brazil and Croatia were in Medjugorje in the last few days. We had chance to meet Biljana Pesorda, a pilgrim and composer of the spiritual music from Slavonski Brod, who at the same time is a mother to eight children. She said that it is beautiful to live in such a big family and it is a fulfillment of everything she ever wanted. “God was merciful and gave me a big family with beautiful, healthy and smart children”, said Biljana and she added that apart from family her biggest joy is to compose the spiritual music. Jamail Samal Lotrivera from Caribbean and Fr. Perkas Danilo Hali from Indian province participated last summer at the General Assembly of Dominican Order that was held in Trogir in Croatia. During that visit they came to Medjugorje and gave interview at the radio station “Mir” Medjugorje. For the last few years Fr. Perkas Danilo Hali works in Rome, in the Roman Curia. He heard about Medjugorje from his brothers Dominicans, who came here three years ago. “They told me I should come to Medjugorje during my visit to Croatia because it was very near. I wanted to see what was attracting so many people to come here and how they lived their faith, and what could we as Dominicans, preachers, learn from all that.” Jamail said that he was on Apparition Hill and regardless of the fact that they did not have a guide, people still climbed on their own and prayed. “As I sat next to the Statue of Mother of God, the Queen of Peace, I felt peace as well as all the time when I was in the church and at the outside altar. There is some special peace here and I really learned that this is the place of peace.” Jamail added that he heard about Medjugorje when he was 20: “I read books about Medjugorje and this place was always in my mind, especially when people told me that I needed to come here. I came because I had to and I promised to pray for them. The most powerful message is the one that Gospa loves us, that we need to love other people in the same way she loves us and that is the most important message of the Gospel.” Foundation “I hear, I believe, I see” from Zagreb, headed by Foundation Administrator Mirko Hrkac, organised a pilgrimage and educational trip of young people and students with disability to Medjugorje in the period from October 18-20, 2013. Apart from Medjugorje they also visited National Park Krka, Sinj and Makarska. After they arrived, Fr. Dragutin Goricanec, their spiritual assistant led the Way of the Cross at the back of the church for the whole group. Young people, especially those with disability, were thrilled to climb Apparition Hill on Saturday, October 19, 2013. They also participated in the evening prayer programme that was held outdoors and they were there for the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament that was translated in various languages. This is what some of them shared with us: “Many pilgrims were around the church and nearly all seats were taken, but even in the silence one could hear the prayer and gentle sound of music, true food and repose for our souls. After the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament was finished, we all met at the Statue of Our Lady and thanked our dear Mother for the grace of being here and for all of the gifts She gave us.” You probably had chance to hear many stories of people who arrive to Medjugorje by various means of transport. Surely, one of the most interesting visits took place in the end of October. A German pilgrim, Gerald Dany who is 49 and lives in Slovakia at the moment, came to Medjugorje by bicycle. He heard about Medjugorje in 1989 for the first time during his visit to Belgium when he met one Catholic family. Then, he arrived to Medjugorje in 1990. Just twelve days ago, he began his pilgrimage through Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina where he plans to stay for a few days. He said how he is very connected to Medjugorje and added: “Now I will continue my journey and I want to go to Rome by bicycle. Most likely I will go to Spain afterwards and visits places of pilgrimage there.” Pilgrims from all over the world came to Medjugorje in the end of October and those great numbers continued in the beginning of November when we celebrated feasts of All Saints and All Souls Day. The Information Office registered groups from Spain, Slovenia, Italy, France, Canada, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Ukraine, England, the United States, Brazil, Ireland, Korea, Belgium, Portugal, and Venezuela. Apart from them there was a young group from Zagreb, parish of Queen of the Holy Rosary. They had two-day spiritual renewal led by six Dominican students. They visited Apparition Hill and Cross Mountain and participated in the evening prayer programme. The entire prayer programme in Medjugorje was held at the White Dome throughout the whole October, just like in the summer days. On Friday, November 8, 2013 we will celebrate first anniversary of death of the former Medjugorje parish priest, Fr. Petar Vlasic. Holy Mass will be celebrated for him at 6 p.m. in Medjugorje church of St. James. Petar died in his 75th year of life, in his 51st year of priesthood and he was a priest for the last 47 years. He served in the various parishes as the parish vicar, the parish priest and the guardian of the monastery. He was in Medjugorje since 1999, and he was appointed as the parish priest in August 2007. He was buried in Kovacica graveyard. Petar was the assistant parish priest in Humac from 1967-1969, parish priest in Rasno from 1969-1977, parish priest in Kongora from 1977 – 1983, province secretary from 1981 – 1988, the assistant parish priest in Posusje from 1983 -1985, parish priest in Ljuti Dolac from 1985 – 1988, guardian and parish priest in Mostar in 1988,parish priest in Siroki Brijeg from 1988 – 1991,parish priest in Blagaj from 1991-1999, de familia in Mostar in 1999, the assistant parish priest in Medjugorje from 1999-2007 and finally parish priest in Medjugorje from August 25, 2007 until the day of his death. John Barwa, Archbishop from Archdiocese Cuttack Bhubaneswar in Odisha, came recently in his first visit to Medjugorje. His Archdiocese has 11 million people and 70 000 are Catholics. He came to Medjugorje in a group of 43 Chinese and some of them live in America, Canada, Malaysia and Hong Kong. He said how Medjugorje is a place famous in the whole world. “My first impressions are really beautiful. This is a place where Mother Mary is truly present. People here act according to that, with that feeling that Mary is our Mother and they are prepared to share that experience with other pilgrims. That is why I am really proud of Medjugorje and I am very happy.

Davor Terzić, kantautor iz Rovinja boravio je sa suprugom Vesnom u Međugorju. Davor je već dugo godina prisutan na Hrvatskoj glazbenoj sceni, a sudjelovao je na gotovo svim festivalima duhovne glazbe. Bračni par Terzić govorio je o svome glazbenom iskustvu te Međugorju, a nastupili su i u programu Radiopostaje ‘’Mir’’ Međugorje u Večeri duhovne glazbe. Kažu da se u Međugorju osjećaju kao kod kuće. Davor se prisjeća prvog dolaska u Međugorje: „Bio je to poseban osjećaj, priključili smo se jednoj skupini Talijana koji su išli na Brdo ukazanja. Taj osjećaj lakoće cijeloga puta ostao mi je urezan zauvijek u sjećanje. To je nešto što je riječima teško opisati. I nama koji pišemo tekstove nedostaju riječi koje bi to opisale,taj osjećaj mira koji se jednom pojavi u vama”. Vesna kaže da puno putuju, te često nastupaju, a piše i marijanske skladbe. Župni ured Brestovsko, u suradnji s Framom iz Brestovskog, organizirao je u subotu, 16. studenog 2013. hodočašće mladih, njih 53-oje u Međugorje. Po samom dolasku u Međugorje, popeli su se na Podbrdo, mjesto Gospina ukazanja. Nekoliko framaša, zajedno s fra Damirom Pavićem, duhovnim asistentom gostovalo je na radiopostaji ‘’Mir’’ Međugorje, gdje su predstavili Framu Brestovsko i posvjedočili o osobnom iskustvu Međugorja. Fra Damir je kazao kako je zahvalan Bogu što se ovaj posjet mladih dogodio: U nedjelju, 24. studenog, trinaesta 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 trinaestu 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. Nakon večernje svete mise, u 19:30 sati, održati će se meditacija za sve župljane u dvorani Ivana Pavla II (žuta dvorana). Članovi Franjevačke mladeži iz Međugorja, zajedno s duhovnim asistentom fra Stankom Ćosićem te područnim duhovnim asistentom fra Slavenom Brekalom, posjetili su od 7. do 11. studenog Hrvatsku katoličku misiju u Zürichu i Hrvate u Švicarskoj. Po povratku, mladi su gostovali na radiopostaji ''Mir'' Međugorje te govorili o ovome putovanju. U Švicarskoj su izveli i predstavu „Quo vadis fili“, koju je, kako mladi kažu, publika dobro prihvatila: „Ta predstava je svugdje gdje se izvodila izazvala velike emocije. Ljudi su bili zadovoljni izvedbom. Don Romano Nardin i don Mario Dall'Arche iz biskupije Vittorio Veneto u Italiji te organizatorica hodočašća Bruna Calesso, kojoj je ovo sto četrdeseto hodočašće u Međugorje, boravili su tijekom ljeta u Međugorju. Don Romano je ovaj put u Međugorje došao kao duhovni pratitelj hodočasničke skupine, što smatra divnim poslanjem: „Za svećenika je velika milost doći u ovo mjesto jer može svjedočiti o tolikim plodovima kod svojih vjernika. Za Međugorje sam čuo 1982./83., a prvi put sam došao 1996. I tada sam došao kao duhovni pratitelj skupine i, ako se ne varam, ovo mi je trinaesti dolazak Kraljici Mira”. U razdoblju od 8. do 10. studenog 2013., pod geslom „Evanđelje i život“ u Kući mira u Međugorju, održan je Nacionalni seminar trajne formacije Trećeg svjetovnog reda (OFS), u organizaciji Hercegovačkog područnog bratstva. Voditelj seminara, kojemu je prisustvovalo oko 50 trećoredaca iz cijele Bosne i Hercegovine, bio je fra Ante Vučković, profesor Katoličkog bogoslovnog fakulteta u Splitu.Na samom početku seminara, prisutne su pozdravili nacionalna ministra Nives Kanevčev, ministra Hercegovačkog područnog bratstva Marija Brekalo te ministar bosanskog područnog bratstva „Kraljice Katarine“ Željko Majdandžić. Seminaru su prisustvovali i fra Ljubo Kurtović, nacionalni duhovni asistent OFS-a te fra Danijel Rajić, nacionalni duhovni asistent Frame i područni duhovni asistent OFS-a Bosne Srebrene. Marija Puljić, OFS i Frama BS Proteklih dana u Međugorju su boravili hodočasnici iz Italije, Francuske, Portugala, Njemačke, SAD-a, Singapura, Kanade, Brazila, te Hrvatske. Susreli smo hodočasnicu i kantautoricu duhovne glazbe iz Slavonskog Broda Biljanu Pešorda. Biljana je majka osmero djece. Kaže kako je prekrasno živjeti u tako velikoj obitelji, to je ostvarenje onoga što je sanjala. „Bog je bio milostiv i dao mi veliku obitelj s predivnom, zdravom i pametnom djecom”-ističe Biljana te dodaje da je uz obitelj najviše veseli stvaranje duhovne glazbe. Fra Jamail Samal Lotrivera s Kariba te fra Perkas Danilo Hali iz indijske provincije sudjelovali su ljetos na generalnoj skupštini Dominikanskog reda u Trogiru. Tom prigodom posjetili su Međugorje te dali svjedočanstvo za program radiopostaje ''Mir'' Međugorje. Fra Perkas Danilo Hali posljednjih nekoliko godina radi u Rimu, u rimskoj kuriji. Kazao je da je za Međugorje čuo od braće dominikanaca koji su prije dvije, tri godine bili tu: „Rekli su mi da, prilikom posjeta Hrvatskoj moram doći i u Međugorje jer je jako blizu . Htio sam vidjeti što to ljude privlači ovamo i kako žive svoju vjeru te što mi možemo kao propovjednici naučiti iz svega toga”. Fra Jamail je kazao da je bio na Brdu ukazanja i bez obzira što nije bilo vodiča, ljudi su išli sami i molili:„Sjedeći pored kipa Majke Božje, Kraljice mira osjetio sam mir kao i dok sam boravio u crkvi i na vanjskom oltaru. Tu je neki poseban mir i to sam ovdje naučio, da je ovo mjesto mira”. Fra Jamail je dodao da je za Međugorje čuo kad je imao 20 godina: „Čitao sam i knjige o Međugorju tako da mi je uvijek bilo u mislima, pogotovo kad su mi ljudi govorili da moram doći. Došao sam jer sam morao i obećao sam im da ću moliti za njih. Najmoćnija mi je poruka da nas Gospa voli, da moramo voljeti druge ljude kao što nas ona voli jer je to i glavna poruka Evanđelja”-kazao je fra Jamail. Zaklada “Čujem, vjerujem, vidim” iz Zagreba, pod vodstvom upravitelja Zaklade Mirka Hrkaća organizirala je hodočašće i edukativno putovanje mladih osoba i studenata s invaliditetom u razdoblju od 18. do 20.10.2013. godine u Međugorje, Nacionalni park Krka, Sinj i Makarsku. Nakon smještaja i večere, sudjelovali su u pobožnosti križnoga puta iza crkve sv. Jakova koju je predvodio vlč. Dragutin Goričanec. Osobito zadovoljstvo mladima s invaliditetom predstavljao je posjet Podbrdu, mjestu Gospinih prvih ukazanja, u subotu 19. listopada. Toga su dana sudjelovali i u molitveno-liturgijskom programu koji se odvijao na vanjskom oltaru crkve sv. Jakova te pobožnosti klanjanja Isusu u Presvetom oltarskom sakramentu na raznim jezicima. „Oko Crkve mnoštvo hodočasnika, bila su gotovo sva mjesta popunjena. U tišini se čula molitva i nježni zvuci glazbe, prava hrana i odmor za dušu. Po završetku pobožnosti, našli smo se svi kod Gospinog kipa pokraj crkve te smo zahvalili dragoj Majci na milosti i darovima kojim nas je obdarila”- kazali su sudionici hodočašća. Fra Tomo Remigije Mlinarić, član Hrvatske franjevačke provincije sv. Ćirila i Metoda, rodom je iz Ludbrega, a već 38 godina živi i djeluje kao misionar u Peruu. Posjetio je Međugorje. S njim smo razgovarali o životu u misijama te o Međugorju. Njegov poziv za misije dogodio se rano, dok je majka čitala časopise o misijama. Kasnije kada je postao franjevac, zbog lošeg zdravlja nije imao izgleda da ode u misije. „No Božja providnost je učinila svoje. Tih godina biskup koji je bio misionar u San Ramonu sastao se s našim provincijalom i drugima u Asizu. Vidio je da u nas ima dosta svećenika pa je zamolio da se netko javi za misije, ako ima poziv za to. Kasnije sam dobio dozvolu i odlazim u misije nakon 8 godina svećeništva” - kazao je Fra Tomo Remigije te dodao: „Uvijek sam bio pobožan Gospi, volim ispovijedati, došao sam u Međugorje zbog mira, zbog tišine”. Na kraju je zamolio sve da mole za misionare, jer su često na mjestima gdje su posve sami. Okolnosti u kojima žive zahtjevne su i u duhovnom pogledu. Sigurno ste čuli za brojne hodočasnike koji dolaze u Međugorje različitim prometalima. Jedan zanimljiv posjet dogodio se krajem listopada. Naime njemački hodočasnik ,49-godišnji Gerald Dany u Međugorje je hodočastio biciklom, iz Slovačke gdje trenutno živi. 1989. godine prvi je put o Međugorju čuo u Belgiji kada je upoznao jednu katoličku obitelj. Poslije toga, prvi put dolazi u Međugorje 1990. Prije 12 dana pošao je na hodočašće kroz Slovačku, Mađarsku, Hrvatsku, Bosnu i Hercegovinu te će se nekoliko dana zadržati u Međugorju. Hodočasnik biciklist ističe kako je jako povezan s Međugorjem te dodaje: „Sada putujem dalje, želim ići u Rim biciklom. Najvjerojatnije ću poslije toga u Španjolsku, posjetiti hodočasnička mjesta”. U petak, 8.studenog 2013. navršava se godina dana od smrti bivšeg međugorskog župnika fra Petra Vlašića. Taj dan slavit će se za njega sveta Misa u 18 sati u međugorskoj župnoj crkvi sv. Jakova. Fra Petar je preminuo, nakon teške bolesti, u 75. godini života, 51. godini redovništva i 47. godini svećeništva. Obnašao je službe župnog vikara, župnika, gvardijana i definitora.U Međugorju je boravio od 1999. godine, a službu župnika obavljao je od kolovoza 2007. do svoje smrti. Pokopan je na groblju Kovačica. Fra Petar je bio kapelan na Humcu od 1967. do 1969.,župnik u Rasnu od 1969. do 1977.,župnik u Kongori od 1977. do 1983., definitor provincije od 1981. do 1988.,Kapelan u Posušju od 1983. do 1985., župnik u Ljutom Docu od 1985. do 1988.,gvardijan i župnik u Mostaru 1988., župnik na Širokom Brijegu od 1988. do 1991.,župnik u Blagaju od 1991. do 1999., de familia u Mostaru 1999.,župni vikar u Međugorju od 1999.-2007., župnik u Međugorju od 25. kolovoza 2007. do svoje smrti. Nedavno je Međugorje prvi put posjetio John Barwa iz Indije, nadbiskup nadbiskupije Cuttack Bhubaneswar u Odishi. Ndbiskupija kojom upravlja broji 11 milijuna stanovnika, od čega 70 000 katolika. Došao je u Međugorje sa skupinom od 43 Kineza, od kojih neki žive u Americi, Kanadi, Maleziji i Hong Kongu. Kaže da je Međugorje poznato u cijelom svijetu. „Prvi dojmovi su zaista predivni. Ovo je mjesto gdje je majka Marija uistinu prisutna. I ljudi se ovdje ponašaju u skladu s tim osjećajem, s osjećajem da je Marija naša majka i spremni su dijeliti to životno iskustvo sa svim hodočasnicima. Zbog toga sam jako ponosan na Međugorje i jako sretan”-kazao je nadbiskup Joh koji je istaknuo da su ga se u Međugorju najviše dojmile ispovijedi: „Ovdje ispovijedi nisu površne, nego duboke. Dok sam slušao ispovijedi mogao sam osjetiti iskrenost, dubinu i to je snažno i veliko iskustvo. Tu su obraćenja. Gospa nas ohrabruje na obraćenje, ispovijed i ovdje to pronalazim. Ljudi koji se godinama nisu ispovijedili, ovdje to tako duboko doživljavaju i onda nastaje promjena, preobrazba”. U povodu blagdana Svih svetih i Dušnoga dana Akademski zbor Pro musica - Mostar organizirao je koncert na kojem je izveden „Requiem“ W.A.Mozarta. Ovo poznato i iznimno glazbeno djelo izvedeno je u crkvi sv. Jakova, a izravno je valovima Radiopostaje ''Mir'' Međugorje išlo do slušatelja u cijelome svijetu. Requiem je posljednja partitura koju je Mozart počeo skladati 1791. godine. Mozart je Requiem skladao umirući, nakon što je ostao prikovan za krevet, osjećao je da mu se bliži kraj, zato je i ovo djelo iznimno snažno. „Život je tako lijep, ali nitko ne može izmijeniti trajanje svog života. Sad ću završiti, ovo je moj Rekvijem. On ne smije ostati nedovršen”- riječi su velikog umjetnika. (slike) Broj podijeljenih sv. pricesti: 211 500 Broj svećenika koncelebranata: 3914 (126 dnevno)
