At the last daily apparition to Jakov Colo on September 12th, 1998, Our Lady told him that henceforth he would have one apparition a year, every December 25th, on Christmas Day. This is also how it was this year. The apparition began at 2:45 pm and lasted 7 minutes. The “Little Doves of Peace” from Medjugorje under direction of Sr. Slavica Kozul, and the “Little Dubrovnik Singers” under the direction of Maestro Djelo Jusic gave their traditional Christmas Concert in Medjugorje Parish Church on Sunday, December 19, 2005 at 3.00pm. The group “Luka” from Ploce was the special guest at this concert. Maestro Jusic and Sr. Slavica Kozul are collaborating for many years now. This Christmas Concert takes place every year in Medjugorje as well as in Dubrovnik. (photos) On Thursday, December 15, 2005, at 8.00pm, the Croatian Baroque Ensemble performed for the first time in St. James’ parish church in Medjugorje. The repertoire included a selection from the Italian baroque programme: Concerti Grossi by Corelli, Torelli and Manfredini, Legrenzi’s motet “O Dilectissime Jesu”, as well as Scarlatti’s cantata for soprano and strings «O Di Betlemme Altera». This concert was organised by the Medjugorje Parish with the assistance of the Croatian Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina. (photos) Dear benefactors and friends of Medjugorje, We have entered into the time of Advent, a time of expectation. Each one of us in his own way, personally, within the family, and in the community, is trying to prepare the way for the One who is coming. He continues to come and to seek us. He continues to send prophets who announce this. Mary, His mother and our Mother, is from the very beginning his nearest disciple and reliable collaborator. On innumerable occasions throughout history she has proved this. In our days, God sends Her as Queen of Peace. He sends Her to teach us the divine wisdom of peace. He sends Her to teach us what brings us peace, and what destroys it. We are grateful to God and we praise Him for all those who in prayer, reconciliation, fasting, reception of the sacraments and reading of the Holy Scripture have come to know the divine wisdom of peace. The 13th International Meeting for Leaders of Peace Centres and Medjugorje Prayer, Pilgrim and Charity groups will take place in the New Hall in Medjugorje from March 5 to 9, 2006. The theme of this encounter is: “You shall be my witnesses until the ends of the world” (Acts 1,8) The number of places is limited, and the number of participants is increasing from year to year. This is why we ask you kindly to make your registration as soon as possible. You can send your registrations by fax + 387 36 651 999 (for Marija Dugandzic), or by e-mail: seminar.marija@medjugorje.hr . On the fifth anniversary of Fr. Slavko Barbaric’s death, the presentation of Fr. Marinko Sakota’s book “Living with the heart – Fr. Slavko Barbaric, his personality and his work” took place in the Parish hall in Medjugorje, in the presence of about 800 guests. On Thursday, November 24, 2005, the parishioners and the pilgrims commemorated the fifth anniversary of Fr. Slavko Barbaric's death in Medjugorje. In the afternoon, they prayed the Way of the Cross on Cross Mountain, and in the evening, there was Holy Mass and Adoration in the Parish church, after which, in the large parish hall, Fr. Marinko Sakota’s book “Living with the heart” was presented. Fourteen years after the fall of Vukovar, Mrs Mirjana Kovac, an economist born in Vukovar, came on a pilgrimage to Medjugorje to entrust to God and to Our Lady all the pain that she is still carrying in her heart. With tears in her eyes she shared both her memories and her hopes with us. Before the war, Mrs Kovac was Director of a Health insurance company, during the war, she led the Croatian Medical Crisis Unit, and after the war, she was the assistant to the Director for the economy. Later she was in charge of the economy, and finally she became Director of Control in the Ministry of Defence of Croatia. Lidija Paris spoke with Mirjana Kovac at the presbytery of Medjugorje. During his visit to Medjugorje, on Saturday, October 22, 2005, Fr. Vinzenzo Brocanelli, ofm, moderator of the missionary evangelisation in the Franciscan Order, gave the following statement: “This is my first visit to Medjugorje. I climbed the Apparition Hill. I think that this is a great centre of spirituality. In a word, if people come here to love Jesus more, they will be able to love their neighbour more, and they will become new missionaries. Regarding the Franciscans serving here, I can only affirm that I hold them in the highest esteem. They make themselves available to those who come here, and what has greatly impressed me, they are well pleased to do so.” Mons. José Domingo Ulloa Mendieta, O.S.A., auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Panama, was in Medjugorje in September 2005. He came on a private pilgrimage with 17 pilgrims. Dragan Soldo spoke with him for Radio “Mir” Medjugorje. On Friday, November 4, four bishops came to the Shrine of the Queen of Peace in Medjugorje. Mons. Thomas Msusa, actual bishop of the diocese of Zomba, his retired predecessor Mons. Allan Chamgwera, and Mons. Remi Joseph Gustave Saint-Marie, bishop of Dedza, came from Malawi. Mons. Joseph Faber MacDonald, bishop of the diocese Saint John in New Brunswick, came from Canada. Vinzenzo Brocanelli, Secretary general for the Missions of the OFM Franciscans, and Fr. Sime Samac, Definitor general of the Franciscan Order, visited Medjugorje on Saturday, October 22, 2005. Mons. Michael Pearse Lacey, retired auxiliary bishop of Toronto, was on his fourth private pilgrimage in Medjugorje from October 9 to 17, 2005. He came with a group of pilgrims from Canada. “The Days of Bread”, a manifestation that the pupils and the teachers of the Elementary School Bijakovici are organising for many years now in their school, took place this year in front of St. James’ Parish church. It’s meaning is to give thanks for “our daily bread” and for life that is coming from God, and to learn how to make use of the bread and of all the gifts of God. Mons. Stanislas Lukumwena Lumbala, O.F.M., bishop of the diocese of Kole in the Democratic Republic of Congo, came for the second time on a private pilgrimage to Medjugorje in September 2005. He was ordained a priest in 1979, and a bishop in 1998. Mons. Lukumwena is the first black African who was a Franciscan Provincial in Congo, and the first black African ordained a bishop in Congo. He came alone to Medjugorje, for a few days of personal prayer and spiritual renewal.

Fra Vidal Lodriguez Lopez, ofm, rektor i vikar Papinskog sveučilišta Antonianum u Rimu, u Međugorju je boravio sredinom lipnja 2008. god. Već pet godina odgovoran je za Antonianum gdje studira stotinjak fratara iz cijeloga svijeta, iz najrazličitijih zemalja, jezika, boja i kultura da bi se po završetku studija vratili evangelizirati u svojim zemljama. Dvadeset i sedma obljetnica Gospinih ukazanja u Međugorju svečano je proslavljena u duhu zahvalnosti za sve primljene milosti. (photos) Vidjelica Ivanka Ivanković Elez imala je redovito godišnje ukazanje 25. lipnja 2008. Prema svjedočanstvu vidjelaca Vicka, Marija i Ivan imaju svakodnevna ukazanja, dok Mirjana, Ivanka i Jakov ukazanje imaju jedanput godišnje. Hodnja mira s Humca do Međugorja tradicionalno se održava 24. lipnja, na blagdan sv. Ivana Krstitelja. I ove su godine za križem i u molitvi pošle tisuće hodočasnika koje nije obeshrabrilo žarko lipanjsko sunce. Četrnaestak kilometara duga hodnja praćena pjesmom i molitvom krunice krenula je ispred franjevačkog samostana na Humcu u 6 sati ujutro da bi nešto prije 10 h Euharistijskim blagoslovom završila pred međugorskom župnom crkvom. U Međugorju se osjeća blizina nadolazeće proslave obljetnice Gospinih ukazanja. Sa svih strana svijeta, zrakom, morem i kopnom, pristižu hodočasnici. Philip Knorr (68) pošao je pješice u Jeruzalem iz Ravensburga u Njemačkoj. Na hodočašće je krenuo na Duhovski ponedjeljak 12. svibnja, a u Međugorje stigao u petak 20. lipnja. Pred 27. obljetnicu Gospinih ukazanja, u Međugorju su pred vanjskim oltarom popločane staze među klupama. Zahvaljujući ovom zahvatu, svećenicima i vjernicima bit će olakšano kretanje za vrijeme dijeljenja Svete pričesti, a izbjegnut će se i buka koraka na šljunku koja često ometa tihu sabranost. Jacques Bousquet iz Francuske u Međugorju je bio 57 puta. Prvi puta došao je u početcima ukazanja kada Međugorje još nije bilo upisano na zemljopisnima kartama. Sjeća se toga vremena, te kako su hodočasnici imali bliski kontakt s fratrima i s vidiocima kojima su mogli biti sasvim blizu za vrijeme ukazanja. Sjeća se fra Slavka Barbarića koji je hodočasnicima znao prenijeti duh Međugorja. Sjeća se kako su mu ta iskustva dala sigurnost da je Gospa doista tu. Već osmu godinu zaredom od 16. do 25 lipnja s blagoslovom maronitskog patrijarha libanonska udruga „Prijatelji Marije Kraljice mira“ („Amis de Marie Reine de la Paix”) organizira molitvenu devetnicu pod naslovom „S Marijom molimo za Libanon“. Krunicu se neprestano moli devet dana, 24 sata na dan. Posti se tijekom cijele devetnice ili jedan dan po osobnom izboru. Presveti Oltarski Sakrament izložen je dan i noć tijekom svih devet dana. Devetnica se svake godine odvija u različitim libanonskim pokrajinama u crkvama koje odrede mjesni biskupi. Od nedjelje 15.06. do ponedjeljka 23.06. 16 h Devetnica - molitva krunice na Podbrdu 18 - 21 h večernji molitveni program u crkvi 19 h večernje misno slavlje uz prigodnu propovijed - blagdan rođenja sv.

Mise na drugim jezicima – prema blagdanskom rasporedu 18 h krunica 19 h središnje večernje misno slavlje Josip Jurina i Stjepan Sačer iz Gornje Stubice, Republika Hrvatska, u prošloj su korizmi, za jedne pobožnosti križnoga puta odlučili pješice hodočastiti Kraljici Mira u Međugorje. Nakon priprema i također pješačkog hodočašća u Mariju Bistricu (27 kilometara), na hodočašće u Međugorje krenuli su 27. svibnja. Put dug oko 550 km prešli su za jedanaest dana. Po dolasku u Međugorje 6. lipnja sudjelovali su u večernjem molitvenom programu, a sutradan su, unatoč žuljevima, posjetili Podbrdo i Križevac. Razgovarao: Bruno Volpe Grad Vatikan – Mišljenja u sučeljavanju: ljepota dijelektike. Na stupcima naših novina, ugledni biskup i egzorcist, mons. Andrea Gemma, oštro je osudio međugorski fenomen definirajući ga 'velikom prijevarom'. Načelo jednakih mogućnosti (Par condicio) nameće da čujemo i mišljenje sklono ukazanjima u Međugorju. Tako smo razgovarali s jednim od najuglednijih živućih mariologa, ocem Renèom Laurentinom (na fotografiji). Ministar regionalnog razvoja, šumarstva i vodnog gospodarstva u Vladi Republike Hrvatske, Petar Čobanković posjetio je u petak, 30. svibnja Međugorje. Njegovi domaćini bili su načelnik općine Čitluk Ivo Jerkić, ravnatelj Majčinog sela fra Svetozar Kraljević i međugorski župnik fra Petar Vlašić. Svibanj 2008.: Broj podijeljenih sv. pričesti: 150.000 Broj svećenika koncelebranata: 3.614 (116 dnevno) U Međugorju je od 19. do 22. 05. 2008. boravio Mons. Jean Damascène Bimenyimana, biskup biskupije Cyangugu u Ruandi. Mons. Bimenyimana predslavio je svetu Misu za hodočasnike francuskog jezičnog područja na kojoj je i održao propovijed, suslavio je na sv. Misi za hodočasnike njemačkog jezičnog područja i sudjelovao u večernjem molitvenom programu. Uspeo se na Brdo ukazanja, posjetio je vidioca Ivana s kojim je molio krunicu te nazočio ukazanju, a razgovarao je i s vidjelicom Vickom. Posjetio je i župnika te ručao u župnoj kući.
