Topic: Spiritual Renewal of Soul and Body The International Spiritual Seminar for Doctors and Nurses will be held in Međugorje, May 28 - 31, 2014 SEMINAR PROGRAMME News about floods that have not been remembered so far and have affected parts of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, have travelled around the whole world. That is why many pilgrims have asked if Medjugorje was affected and if there was anything that they could do. Medjugorje is not close to those endangered areas but Medjugorje wishes to be close to all those who have felt or still feel consequences of this great natural catastrophe. Thereby we invite all pilgrims, people of good will and friends of Medjugorje to respond and help as much as they can. It is possible to do that through our humanitarian organisation Medjugorje - Mir - Mother's Village (that was founded in the time of the war and directed your help to all those in need) by giving your donations to this account: After the completed preparation through religious classes, fifty-five children received the sacrament of the Holy Communion on May 18,2014. Stanko Cosic was the main celebrant of this solemn Holy Mass, and children's choir "Doves of Peace" made this celebration even more beautiful with their singing. Stanko said in his homily that this is a special gift for the children because they can receive Jesus: "Get to know Jesus, more you get to know Him, you will get to know more God. More you get to know Jesus, you will discover your own beauty. As flowers that are opening to the sun, your hearts will bloom. All of you parents, may you be example to your children." Married couple Sergio and Ida came from Rome for the first time in Medjugorje and they were very grateful for that fulfilment of their wish. They said this was one really beautiful experience for them. Sergio said: “We were blessed that the weather was great as well. I encourage all to come here since this is one really moving experience. There is something on Apparition Hill that is hard to explain and I thought a lot about what could have moved the visionaries to climb up there. It seems correct what St. John Paul II said about Medjugorje being the confessional of the whole world. One can really feel inner joy and peace. All things from the everyday life settle in the right way, at its own place.” Numerous pilgrims arrived to Medjugorje in the last few days and we had chance to speak to Peter O'Brien, law student, who comes from Cork in Ireland. This is his fourth visit to Medjugorje and he said that he came for the first time when his friend, a priest, paid a trip for him "I was here for one week and even though I heard for Medjugorje before, I could not know what was happening indeed here. After I returned home, I had experience of deep conversion. It was a profound conversion and from that time I became very interested in Catholicism, Holy Mass and confession. We are now in the month that is especially devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary and we are all invited to be included a bit more into the evening prayer programme and prayer of Rosary and Holy Mass, so we could thank Mary for all the graces She bestowed upon us. The timetable of the evening prayer programme had changed from May 1, and Rosary is now at 6 p.m., while Holy Mass is at 7 p.m. This period is very popular for many pilgrims, that according to the Information Office records, have arrived from Germany, Austria, Ireland, England, the United States, Canada, Italy, France, Poland, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Ukraine, Belgium, Hungary, Latvia, Lebanon, Korea, Sweden and Norway. We had chance to talk to many pilgrims from Croatia and one of them, Zdenka from Rijeka, told us that this is her third visit to Medjugorje together with her parishioners. Number of Holy Communions: 160 700 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 2418 (80 per day) As it happens every year, starting with Thursday, May 1, 2014 the timetable of the evening prayer programme in Medjugorje is being changed. The Rosary will begin at 6 p.m. and Holy. Mass at 7 p.m. The other programme after. Holy Mass will be the same according to each day's schedule. The Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on Tuesdays and Saturdays will be at 10 p.m., and at 8 p.m. on Thursdays, immediately after Holy Mass. Prayer of Rosary on Apparition Hill will be at 4 p.m. and of the Way of the Cross on Fridays on Cross Mountain also at the same time. On Divine Mercy Sunday, April 27, we registered many groups in Medjugorje that came from Croatia, the United States, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Korea, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary, France, Canada, Poland, Lebanon, Ukraine and Spain. Among the pilgrims that came from Croatia, we met 80 years old Marija from Nova Gradiska who came to Medjugorje for the 80th time. She said that she was able to experience great grace here: "When I return home, my family says that they can feel peace, love and happiness. Nothing without the Lord, and all with the Lord. Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, for that is the greatest treasure and greatest love." Many pilgrims arrived to Medjugorje for Easter this year and all of them, together with parishioners took part in the liturgical celebration of Easter Triduum. Pilgrims came from Italy, the United States, Ireland, France, Germany, Lebanon, Austria, Portugal, Argentina, Spain, Latvia, England, Slovakia, Korea, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Hrvoje Miletic led the prayer of Rosary on Holy Thursday and Fr. Ivan Dugandzic celebrated Holy Mass of Lord’s Supper along with 25 priests who have concelebrated. Ivan is his homily said that Jesus was born in the poorest circumstances, lived among poor people, died deprived of his clothes and was buried in someone else’s grave because he did not have his grave. (photos) “Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.” To all parishioners, pilgrims, friends, benefactors, and to all men of goodwill a Blessed and Happy Easter! Parish priest and the Franciscans (photos) Uskrsna cestitka 2014 - fra Marinko Sakota Sunday, April 20, Resurrection of our Lord – Holy Masses in Croatian language in the parish church will be held at 7, 8, 11 a.m. and at 6 p.m. Palm Sunday or Sunday of Passion of our Lord brings us into the Holy Week and the preparation for the greatest Christian solemnity – Easter. As in the previous weeks, the liturgy of Palm Sunday on April 13 began on the grounds of the old parish church at 10.30 a.m. After the Gospel was read and olive branches were blessed, the Procession with readers, priests, altar boys and all parishioners and pilgrims, continued towards the parish church. After arriving to the church, Fr. Karlo Lovric celebrated Holy Mass at 11 a.m. in the parish church of St. James. Mladen Herceg celebrated the evening Holy Mass at 6 p.m. with seven priests concelebrating. Many pilgrims have arrived from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, England, Italy, the United States, Germany, Austria, France, Belgium and Ireland. Apart from three Holy Masses in Croatian language, there were five Holy Masses celebrated in other languages. Many pilgrims also joined the parish in prayer of Rosary on Apparition Hill at 2 p.m. (photos) Every Friday during the Lent after the evening Holy Mass, Franciscans from Medjugorje parish are leading devotion of the Way of the Cross. Last Friday, this devotion was more special because two choirs “Pro Musica” from Mostar and “Prijatelji” from Citluk were leading this Way of the Cross with songs and in words as well. Dragan Filipovic, conductor of the choir “Pro Musica” composed the lyrics of late Croatian poet Branko Klaric that he wrote during the war. “This Way of the Cross was written for choir, single performers and orchestra. I thank all those who participated and who have helped and contributed in this music work of the Way of the Cross. I liked what Branko Klaric wrote and as I was discovering textual melody, this Way of the Cross was made. Late Branko Klaric wrote one or two verses for each station of the Way of the Cross and many are familiar with those words”, said Fr. Dragan. This Way of the Cross was broadcasted live by radio station Mir Medjugorje. Number of Holy Communions: 65 800 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 1344 (43 per day)

U subotu, 07. lipnja 2014. u Međugorju u dvorani Ivana Pavla II. (žuta dvorana) Župni ured Sv Jakova u Međugorju, Franjevačka teologija u Sarajevu i Biblijski institut KBF-a u Zagrebu organiziraju Znanstveni simpozij povodom 10. obljetnice smrti dr. fra Ljudevita Rupčića. PROGRAM U Međugorju je, u subotu 31. svibnja, misnim slavljem završio Drugi međunarodni duhovni seminar za liječnike i medicinsko osoblje na kojemu se okupilo 110 sudionika iz 18 zemalja, i to iz: Rusije, Litve, Ukrajine, Francuske, Poljske, Češke, Austrije, Italije, Puerto Rica, Paragvaja, Kolumbije, Engleske, Kariba, Irske, Slovačke, SAD-a, Hrvatske i Bosne i Hercegovine. Seminar je otvoren u srijedu 28. svibnja 2014., a predavači su bili p. Kornelije Marko Glogović, provincijal Hrvatske pavlinske provincije i fra Marinko Šakota, međugorski župnik. Tema Drugog seminara za liječnike i medicinsko osoblje bila je „Duhovna obnova za dušu i tijelo“. Broj podijeljenih sv. pricesti: 204 200 Broj svećenika koncelebranata: 3663 (118 dnevno) Tema: Duhovna obnova za dušu i tijelo Međunarodni seminar za liječnike i medicinsko osoblje održat će se u Međugorju od 28. do 31. svibnja 2014. Program Vijest o nezapamćenim poplavama koje su pogodile dijelove Hrvatske, Bosne i Srbije obišla je svijet. Stoga su mnogi hodočasnici pitali, je li stradalo Međugorje i na koji način se može pomoći ugroženima. Međugorje je prostorno daleko od ugroženih područja, ali želi biti blizu svima onima koji su osjetili i osjećaju posljedice ove velike prirodne nepogode. Stoga pozivamo sve hodočasnike, ljude dobre volje i prijatelje Međugorja da se odazovu i pomognu prema svojim mogućnostima. To je moguće učiniti preko naše humanitarne udruge Međugorje Mir – Majcino selo (koja je još u vrijeme rata usmjeravala vašu pomoć) uplaćujući svoj dar na žiro račun: Nakon završene vjeronaučne priprave, 18. svibnja 2014. u 10 sati Prvoj svetoj pričesti u župi Međugorje pristupilo je pedeset petero djece. Svečanu svetu misu predslavio je fra Stanko Ćosić, a slavlje je svojim skladnim pjevanjem uveličao međugorski dječji zbor „Golubići mira“. Fra Stanko je u propovijedi djeci kazao kako je ovo za njih poseban dan jer se mogu pričestiti i na poseban način primiti Isusa: „Upoznajte Isusa, što ga budete više upoznavali, upoznat ćete i Boga. Što više budete Isusa upoznavali, upoznat ćete svoju vlastiti ljepotu. Kao cvjetovi koji se otvaraju suncu, tako će vaše srce cvjetati. Svi vi roditelji, budite primjer svojoj djeci”. U subotu 17. svibnja 2014. u župnoj crkvi sv. Jakova u Međugorju 79 krizmanika primilo je sakrament Svete potvrde kojim se kršteni obogaćuju darom Duha Svetoga i savršenije povezuju s Crkvom. Sakrament Potvrde kandidatima je podijelio mjesni biskup, mons. Ratko Perić pod svetom Misom u 10 sati. Svojom pjesmom ovo misno slavlje uveličao je Veliki župni zbor župe Međugorje. Dan prije, 16. svibnja, krizmanici, njihovi kumovi i roditelji pristupili su sakramentu svete ispovijedi. Bračni par Sergio i Ida dolaze iz Rima. U Međugorju su prvi put i jako su zahvalni što im se ispunila želja. Kazali su kako je ovo za njih jedno prekrasno iskustvo. Sergio je još kazao: „Posrećilo nam se da je i vrijeme bilo lijepo. Potičem sve da dođu ovdje jer je doista dirljivo iskustvo. Na Brdu ukazanja postoji nešto što je teško objasniti i doista sam mislio što je moglo potaknuti vidioce da se penju gore. Čini mi se da je sv.Ivan Pavao II. rekao da je Međugorje ispovjedaonica svijeta. Osjeća se jača unutarnja vedrina, unutarnji mir. Stvari iz svakodnevnog života poslože se na pravi način”. Uz hodočasnike iz nekoliko država svijeta, novinari Radiopostaje „Mir“ Međugorje ovih su dana razgovarali i s onima iz Škotske. Među njima je bio i John McKenzie kojemu je ovo drugi posjet Međugorju. Godinama su ga nagovarali na dolazak u Međugorje, no prvi put dolazi tek u listopadu prošle godine: Ovih dana rijeka hodočasnika se slila u Međugorje, a među njima smo susreli Petera O'Briena koji dolazi iz Corka u Irskoj, gdje studira pravo. Ovo mu je četvrti posjet Međugorju. Ističe kako je prvi put došao kad mu je prijatelj svećenik iz Irske platio put u Međugorje: „Bio sam tjedan dana tu i, premda sam čuo za Međugorje već i prije, nisam točno znao što se tu događa. Kad sam se vratio doživio sam duboko obraćenje. Jako duboko obraćenje i od tada sam jako zainteresiran za katoličanstvo, misu, krunicu i ispovijed. U mjesecu smo svibnju koji je na poseban način posvećen Blaženoj Djevici Mariji. Zato smo svi pozvani da se u svibnju što više uključimo u večernji molitveni program, molitvu krunice i svetu misu da bi zahvalili Mariji za sve njezine milosti. Od 1. svibnja promijenjena je satnica večernjeg molitvenog programa u Međugorju. Večernji molitveni program počinje u 18 sati molitvom krunice, u 19 sati je sveta misa. Početkom svibnja u Međugorju prema podacima ureda informacija borave hodočasnici iz Njemačke, Austrije, Irske, Engleske, SAD-a, Kanade, Italije, Francuske, Poljske, Španjolske, Argentine, Brazila, Ukrajine, Belgije, Mađarske, Latvije, Libanona, Koreje te iz Švedske i Norveške. Broj podijeljenih sv. pricesti: 160 700 Broj svećenika koncelebranata: 2418 (80 dnevno) Kao i svake godine, od četvrtka (1. svibnja) mijenja se satnica večernjega molitvenog programa u Međugorju. Molitva krunice u župnoj crkvi je u 18, a sv. misa u 19 sati, a nakon mise slijedi uobičajeni molitveni raspored ovisno o danu u tjednu. Klanjanje će biti utorkom i subotom u 22 sata, a četvrtkom u 20 sati nakon večernje svete mise. Molitva na Križevcu petkom i na Podbrdu nedjeljom je u 16 sati. Vatikan, (IKA) - U propovijedi svečane mise na kojoj je proglasio svetima pape Ivana XXIII. i Ivana Pavla II., papa Franjo posebno je istaknuo poslušnost Ivana XXIII. Duhu Svetomu, osobito kod pokretanja Drugoga vatikanskog sabora, a papu Ivana Pavla II. nazvao je papom obitelji. Sveti Otac istaknuo je da se "u središtu ove nedjelje, koja zaključuje osminu Uskrsa i koju je sv. Ivan Pavao II. posvetio Božjem milosrđu, nalaze slavne rane uskrsloga Isusa". U Međugorju su 27. travnja, na nedjelju Božanskog milosrđa boravili hodočasnici iz Hrvatske, SAD-a, Irske, Škotske, Italije, Njemačke, Austrije, Švicarske, Koreje, Slovenije, Slovačke, Mađarske, Francuske, Kanade, Poljske, Libanona, Ukrajine i Španjolske. Među hodočasnicima iz Hrvatske susreli smo 80. godišnju Mariju iz Nove Gradiške, kojoj je ovo 80. dolazak u Međugorje. Kaže da je u Međugorju doživjela veliku milost:
