Pope John Paul II visited Croatia three times and Bosnia and Herzegovina two times. Out of 11 Croatians declared saints and blessed, he declared four of them: he canonised Leopold Mandic in 1983, and he beatified the Cardinal Stepinac (1998), Mary of Jesus Crucified and Ivan Merz (2003). Let us not forget Mother Teresa who is an Albanian from Macedonia, but who received the faith through Croatian missionaries in Skopje, and for whom the Croatian language was the language of her catholic faith. These days, the 83-years old Blaženka Brdar from Rijeka (Croatia) is celebrating the 150th pilgrimage that she has organised to Medjugorje. She came for the first time on May 7, 1983, and she remembers well this difficult time when the police was forbidding to the pilgrims to climb the Apparition Hill and Cross Mountain, and when the Franciscans from Rijeka were disapproving her going to Medjugorje. During the first years, she was taking two cars a year, and with the time, there were 12 cars a year. Everything was happening without any advertisement, simply by phone and through personal contacts. Luc Gevaert from the Flamish part of Belgium came on his first pilgrimage to Medjugorje with his whole family, on March 29, 1985, in order to celebrate the marriage anniversary. Since then, many lay people and priests, especially young people, asked him to take them to Medjugorje, and this is how he began to organise pilgrimages. He was coming even during the war, without fear, because he felt that Our Lady was protecting him. In the meantime, two of his five children are married, and one of his sons has become a priest. Luc is a witness of many graces, even of exceptional healings. On Friday, April 8, in the evening, in Saint James’ parish church in Medjugorje, there was Holy Mass for Holy Father John Paul II. In the filled church, Holy Mass was presided by the Parish priest, Fr. Branko Radoš, in concelebration with the Franciscans of Medjugorje and 41 priests from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and abroad. Thank you, Holy Father John Paul II Holy Father John Paul II will be buried on Friday, April 8, in the crypt of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. On that day, in Medjugorje, we will pray at his intentions the Way of the Cross at 2 PM. Holy Mass for him will be celebrated at 6 PM. From the very moment when we heard that the Pope John Paul II was seriously ill and suffering, Radio “Mir” Medjugorje is broadcasting a special whole-day program in the honour of the Holy Father. Holy Father John Paul II has died on April 2, at 21.37. The parish Medjugorje and the pilgrims were in Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. At that very moment, the priest was meditation on Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane who is calling his disciples to be with him and pray. The faithful were singing. “Stay with me, remain here with me, watch and pray”, and after this: “I need you, Jesus, I give my life to you, you are the source of my life, consolation of my heart, I implore you, Jesus, Lord, hear my prayer.” John Paul II was a Pope devoted to Mary. His pontifical slogan was “Totus tuus ego sum et omnia mea tua sunt”. For him, Mary was the Mother of the Church and the way that is leading to Christ. In this sense he renewed the devotion to Mary, especially the prayer of the Rosary, introducing into the Rosary the Mysteries of light. He was always saying that the devotion to Mary has to be lived in a Christ-centric way and he was writing about thism especially in his Encyclical “Redemptoris Mater» (1987) and in the Apostolic letter “Rosarium Virginis Mariae” (2002), but also in the Apostolic letter “Novo Millennio Ineunte” (2001), in which he entrusted to Mary the lives of all human beings and of the world of the new millennium. Holy Father has never officially recognised the apparitions of Medjugorje, but he believed in them, and he told this to many. During his pontificate, ha was putting into practice what Our Lady was inviting us to. Holy Father has died at 9.37 PM Franz Gollowitsch (Fragollo Reisen, Austria) organised his first pilgrimage to Medjugorje on July 8, 1985. During the past 20 years, he accompanied personally 365 pilgrimages, which means that he spent two years in the bus, and more than three years of his life in Medjugorje… He was not giving up during the war either, when – together with the pilgrims – he was tirelessly bringing humanitarian help and helping the orphans. Because of serious health conditions of the Holy Father, in Medjugorje we are praying today for his intentions in all the Masses. While Holy Father, according to the words of his nearest collaborators “is already contemplating God”, perpetual prayers are held also in Medjugorje. On Saturday, April 2, the usual hour of Adoration at 9 pm is prolonged until midnight, for the intentions of the Pope and for the Church. Josip Coha began his pilgrimage to Medjugorje on Sunday, March 6, in Bistra Gornja near Zagreb covered with snow. He reached his goal on Friday, March 18, in short sleeves, on a temperature of 22°C. Mons. Vlado Kosic, auxiliary bishop of Zagreb, and from Tomica Novosel, his parish priest gave him a blessing for this pilgrimage. Dear visitors, as you can see, we have changed the design of the Home Page of the Shrine of the Queen of Peace. We hope that you will like it, and that we will be even closer to you in spreading Our Lady’s messages and the voice from Medjugorje. All possible commentaries may be sent to our e-mail addresses. The Mexican television movie star Eduardo Verastegui came to the Shrine of the Queen of Peace in Medjugorje for the first time in March 2005. He heard about Medjugorje for the first time from his English teacher three years ago, when he moved from Mexico to Los Angeles. He had to learn English, because he has signed a contract for a movie to be made in the USA. His teacher is very devoted to Our Lady and to Medjugorje, and she spoke to him about apparitions, visionaries, messages, confessions and prayers in Medjugorje. “This is how my conversion began. I started to go to the church daily, and among the Catholics, wherever I came, I heard only “Medjugorje, Medjugorje”…, says Eduardo.

Informativni centar «Mir» Međugorje hodočasnicima i prijateljima predlaže četiri nova izdanja.(photos) Papa Ivan Pavao II posjetio je Hrvatsku tri puta (1994., 1998. i 2003.) a Bosnu i Hercegovinu dva puta (1997. i 2003.). Od 11 hrvatskih svetaca i blaženika, on ih je proglasio četvoro: Leopolda Mandića svetim 1983, Kardinala Stepinca blaženim 1998, Mariju od Propetoga blaženom 2003, Ivana Merza blaženim 2003. Nemojmo zaboraviti ni Majku Tereziju koja je Albanka iz Makedonije, ali je vjeru primila preko hrvatskih misionara u Skopju, za koju je hrvatski jezik bio jezik njezine katoličke vjere. Ovih dana, osamdesetitrogodišnja Blaženka Brdar iz Rijeke obilježava 150-to hodočašće koje je organizirala u Međugorje. Prvi puta je došla 7. svibnja 1983, pa se dobro sjeća tog teškog razdoblja kad je policija zabranjivala odlazak na Brdo ukazanja i na Križevac, i kad su je fratri iz Rijeke odvraćali od odlazaka u Međugorje. Prvih godina organizirala je po dva autobusa godišnje, a s vremenom ih je bilo i po 12 godišnje. Sve se to događalo bez ikakve promidžbe, jednostavno telefonom i osobnim kontaktima. Luc Gevaert iz flamanskog dijela Belgije na prvo hodočašće u Međugorje došao je 29.03.1985, s cijelom obitelji, da bi ovdje proslavio godišnjicu braka. Od tada su mnogi laici i svećenici, posebno mladi, od njega tražili da ih povede na hodočašće, pa je postao organizator. Dolazio je i za vrijeme rata, bez straha, jer je osjećao Gospinu zaštitu. U međuvremenu, dvoje od njegovo petoro djece su u braku a jedan od njegovih sinova postao je svećenik. Luc je svjedok mnogih milosti, pa čak i izvanrednih iscjeljenja. U petak 8. travnja navečer, u župnoj crkvi sv. Jakova održana je sveta Misa zadušnica za Svetog Oca Ivana Pavla II. U prepunoj crkvi, Svetu Misu predslavio je župnik fra Branko Radoš u koncelebraciji s međugorskim fratrima i četrdeset i jednim svećenikom iz Bosne i Hercegovine, Hrvatske i inozemstva. Hvala, Sveti Oče Ivane Pavle II Sveti Otac Ivan Pavao II. bit će pokopan u petak 8. travnja kripti Bazilike svetog Petra u Rimu. Toga dana ćemo u Međugorju na njegove nakane moliti Put Križa u 14 h i slaviti za njega sv. Misu zadušnicu u 18 h. Od trenutka saznanja kako Papa Ivan Pavao II. teško trpi i boluje, Radiopostaja «Mir» Međugorje emitira poseban cjelodnevni program u čast Svetoga Oca. Sveti Otac Papa Ivan Pavao II. umro je 2. travnja u 21.37 sati. Župa Međugorje i hodočasnici bili su u klanjanju pred Presvetim. U tom trenutku, svećenik je razmatrao o Isusu u Getsemanskom vrtu koji poziva učenike da s njim bdiju i mole. Pjevalo se: «Ostani tu i uza me bdij» a odmah za tim: «Trebam te, Isuse, tebi se utječem. Ti si izvor života, ti si moja utjeha, molim Te, Isuse, usliši me.» Ivan Pavao II. bio je marijanski Papa. Njegovo papinsko geslo bilo je «Totus tuus ego sum et omnia mea tua sunt». Marija je za njega bila Majka Crkve i put koji vodi prema Kristu. U tom je smislu obnovio marijansku pobožnost, posebno molitvu krunice, uvodeći u Ružarij Otajstva svjetla. Uvijek je govorio da se marijanska pobožnost mora živjeti kristocentrično i o tome je pisao, posebno u enciklici «Redemptoris Mater» (1987) i u Apostolskom pismu «Rosarium Virginis Mariae» (2002), ali i u Apostolskom pismu «Novo Millennio Ineunte» (2001) u kojem je Mariji povjerio život ljudi i svijeta novog tisućljeća. Sveti Otac nije službeno priznao međugorska ukazanja ali je u njih vjerovao i to je mnogima rekao. Tijekom svojeg pontifikata provodio je ono na što je Gospa pozivala. Papa je umro u 21.37 sati. Franz Gollowitsch (Fragollo Reisen, Austrija) organizirao je prvo hodočašće u Međugorje 8. srpnja 1985. Tijekom 20 godina, u Međugorje je osobno dopratio 365 hodočašća, što znači da je u autobusu proveo dvije godine, a u Međugorju više od tri godine svog života... Nije odustajao ni za vrijeme rata, kada je uz hodočasnike neumorno dovozio i humanitarnu pomoć te pomagao ratnu siročad. Zbog teškog zdravstvenog stanja Svetog Oca, u Međugorju se danas na svim sv. Misama posebno moli na Papine nakane. Dok Sveti Otac, prema riječima svojih najbližih suradnika, «već gleda Boga», i u Međugorju se za njega stalno moli. U subotu 02.04. redoviti subotnji sat klanjanja u 21 h produžuje se sve do 24 h, na Papine nakane i za Crkvu. Josip Coha krenuo je na hodočašće u Međugorje iz dubokim snijegom prekrivene Bistre Gornje kod Zagreba u nedjelju 6. ožujka. Do cilja je stigao u petak, 18. ožujka u kratkim rukavima pri temperaturi od 22°C. Blagoslov za hodočašće dobio je župnika Tomice Novosela i zagrebačkog pomoćnog biskupa Mons. Vlade Košića.
