Many pilgrims walked to Medjugorje for the 32nd Anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions. Among them, there was a group of 29 pilgrims from Rama who walked for three days. Some of them do this on regular basis and they have participated in similar pilgrimages for more than twenty times. All of them arrived with their personal problems, vows and desires and wanted to thank Our Lady with their humble and persevering prayers for all of the gifts they have received. These pilgrims said that they could feel more power and peace as they were getting closer to Medjugorje. The Anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions in Medjugorje was solemnly celebrated on Tuesday, June 25, 2013. Along with many pilgrims from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, there were larger ogranised groups from England, the United Sates, Ireland, Canada, Hungary, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Korea, France, Poland, Italy, Ukraine, Japan, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Belgium, Portugal, Brazil, Lebanon, Slovenia and Romania. Apart from arriving by the ordinary means of the transport, many pilgrims have walked to Medjugorje so they would fulfill their vows to the Queen of Peace and thank Her for all of the graces they have received. During the day there were 22 Holy Masses celebrated in the parish church, at the outside altar and in the Adoration chapel. Holy Masses in Croatian language were celebrated at 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 a.m. and the central evening prayer programme began at 6 .m. with Rosary and continued at 7 p.m. with the solemn Holy Mass, celebrated by Dr. Fr. Miljenko Steko, the Provincial of Herzegovina Franciscan Province along with 220 priests that concelebrated. Ivan Landeka celebrated Holy Mass on June 24, with 153 priests that concelebrated with him. The traditional 22nd Peace Walk was held on that morning from shrine of St. Anthony in Humac to Medjugorje parish church with couple of thousands of pilgrims that took part in this event. (photos) The visionary Ivanka Ivankovic-Elez had her regular annual apparition on June 25th 2013. At Her last daily apparition on May 7, 1985, Our Lady confided to Ivanka the 10th secret and told her that she would have an apparition once a year on the anniversary of the apparitions. It was that way also this year. The apparition, which lasted 2 minutes, took place at Ivanka’s family home. Only Ivanka’s family was present at the apparition. After the apparition, Ivanka said: Our Lady did not give a message. She blessed us with her motherly blessing. On Monday, June 24th 2013, thousands of pilgrims participated in the 22nd Peace Walk from Humac to Medjugorje. After the introduction speech, Guardian of the monastery in Humac, Fr. Velimir Mandic, blessed all pilgrims with the crucifix at the outside alter of church of St. Anthony in Humac. Pilgrims arrived in prayer and in song of praise in front of the church of St. James around 10 a.m. where Fr. Danko Perutina awaited for them. After the Walk, there was a prayer before the Blessed Sacrament and Benediction at the very end. This Peace Walk was initiated in 1992, by Hubert Liebherr, group leader from Germany. He was terrified by the war that began here and with few friends from abroad they decided to walk from Humac to Medjugorje, trusting to Our Lady who said that prayer and fasting could even stop the wars. Marinko Šušak, man from Siroki Brijeg in Herzegovina who lives in Zagreb and his friend Dragutin Bosak from Krapina left Zagreb on Sunday, June 9 after celebration of Holy Mass in Cathedral of Zagreb and blessing at the grave of Bl. Alojzije Stepinac, and began their pilgrimage to the Mother of God in Medjugorje. Motto of their pilgrimage was: “Salvation is in the Cross!” They carried huge cross and Croatian national flag and arrived to Medjugorje on the eve of the apparitions, June 24, 2013. Two friends, one from Herzegovina and the other from Zagorje, have filled their pilgrimage with prayer of Rosaries for convicted Croatian soldiers in Haag, for all forgotten and deprived soldiers of Croatian Army as well as for their families. They have blessed their cross one month ago at the place of martyrdom of burnt and killed Herzegovinian Franciscans in Siroki Brijeg. After this pilgrimage, the cross will be given to the Board for Beatification of Martyrs to be kept and protected in the memory of their Way of the Cross that they took for their Homeland and Croatian people. Medjugorje parishioners and pilgrims from all over the world as well as local pilgrims are preparing for the celebration of the 32nd Anniversary of Our Lady’s Apparitions. The Novena to the Queen of Peace began on Saturday, June 15, 2013 and as a part of this Novena pilgrims and parishioners are climbing Apparition Hill every day at 4 p.m. to pray the Rosary. The evening prayer programme begins at 6 p.m. with prayer of Rosary and continues with Holy Mass at 7 p.m. The Information Office registered groups from Germany, Austria, Italy, the United States, Ireland, Canada, Lebanon, Spain, Slovakia, Poland, China, Hungary and Hong Kong. Each one of these pilgrims has his own story related to Medjugorje. So, Judy Paterson arrived from South Africa and this is her tenth pilgrimage to the Queen of Peace. Among other things, Judy told us: “I came here to thank. I had many experiences. Three years ago I was healed here. I was really sick and doctors told me I have three more months left. I recovered some strength, came here, prayed and returned home healed. It took me lots of time but I was healed. I came to thank Our Lady because my healing came through Her and our Lord. I know it was them who restored my health again.” Members of the music band “The Apostles of Peace” from the parish of Sts. Vitus and George in Madarevo in Varazdin County, Croatia, were in Medjugorje from June 1-2, 2013. They were singing at the Holy Mass celebrated on Saturday, and Sunday was the day when they climbed hills in Medjugorje. They were also guests on Radio Mir Medjugorje and they spoke about their journey with God in praise and worship, as well as about their personal experience of Medjugorje. The spiritual music group “The Apostles of Peace” was formed in the Jubilee Year 2000 and ever since then, they have been motivating the prayer life of youth in their parish and in other places as well. They were guests at numerous prayer encounters. Number of Holy Communions: 198 500 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 3972 (128 per day) The Feast of Corpus Christi was solemnly celebrated in Medjugorje on Thursday, May 30, 2013. Many groups from various countries like Austria, Germany, England, the United States, Ireland, Italy, Slovakia, Poland, China, France, Spain, Ukraine and Romania came to Medjugorje, a world famous shrine, on that day. Four Holy Masses were celebrated in Croatian language and eleven more in other languages. After the evening Holy Mass that was celebrated at the outside Alter of St. James’ church, with Fr. Svetozar Kraljevic as the main celebrant and 48 priests who concelebrated at that Mass, the traditional Procession with the Most Blessed Sacrament followed through the streets of Medjugorje parish. There were many pilgrims who arrived to Medjugorje in May and among them we had chance to talk to few of them who arrived from Germany: Sr. Jency Naduvilaparmabil and Fr. Mathew Jacob Matatila, and to the group leader Marlis Deutsch. Sr. Jency and Fr. Mathew come from India, and for years they are serving in Germany. Many pilgrims arrived to Medjugorje in the last few days, but there is one group that was a bit more special than others. It is a group of pilgrims from Slavonski Brod and Derventa, members of the prayer group “The Third Heart”, whose mission is to pray for the unborn, for life and this group has walked to Medjugorje. Their intention was to pray for unborn, for protection of life. In ten days period, they have walked more than 350 km and told us how they experienced incredible things. “Along with our primary prayer intention, we came to Medjugorje to thank Mother of God for all we received from Her and for all we have, mostly for our families,” they told us. Sean Parsons from England came to Medjugorje for the fourth time. This time he arrived with another three pilgrims. He heard about Medjugorje from his aunt, who is nun, and that made him come and visit this place. Four years after his first visit he joined the seminary and came afterwards again to Medjugorje together with his parents. Parsons said: “Few weeks after I was ordained, I returned to Medjugorje. This is where one can feel great peace, an immense joy in celebration of the Holy Eucharist and in confessions. It is beautiful to hear the experiences of pilgrims during confessions because we can see that their hearts have changed. When they come here, they all want to reject what is wrong in their lives and to return to Jesus. Pilgrims read Our Lady’s messages, we all read those messages, but how much do we live those - that is another issue. Each one of us should decide to live according to Our Lady’s messages, because Our Lady is tirelessly inviting us, especially to place the prayer of Rosary into the centre of our life so we could be converted in that way.” Dulcinea Candida De Macedo Von Der Eijk was born in Brazil, and lives in Amsterdam today. She came to Medjugorje because of her great love and devotion to Mary. She is in Medjugorje for the first time and she is very grateful that her desire to come here was brought to reality. She witnessed how she received invitation by Our Lady and said: “I love being in Medjugorje and I am certain I will be back again. Yesterday we climbed Cross Mountain and it is so beautiful to be there, it is so nice to be here and to pray with the whole world.” Simalon Kohonde, a priest from Benin in Africa who lives and works in missions in France, came to Medjugorje in the last week. He shared his experience with us: “I came to Medjugorje to thank God and Our Lady because without their help, I would not be able to do my work. The reason of my pilgrimage is peace, I need prayer above al. I can say that Medjugorje is the whole world in one place, it is a place where we can pray with the heart.” A group of volunteers from the academic or student’s church of St. Philip Neri from Split organised for the first time a pilgrimage for persons with special needs to the Queen of Peace in Medjugorje. This pilgrimage was held on Sunday, May 12, and around 180 pilgrims came, half of them were their nurses and volunteers. After the Holy Mass in the parish church, pilgrims continued their programme in the Mother’s Village. The spiritual assistant of the pilgrimage was Fr. Jozo Muzic, and members of the Franciscan Youth of Medjugorje helped some of the persons during their pilgrimage in Medjugorje on that day.

(slike) Među sudionicima seminara za bračne parove u Međugorju susreli smo dva para koji su stigli zaista iz daleka. Jedan od njih su Edith Dantes – Castillo i Jose Dantes – Castillo s Floride – Miami, a drugi Elio David Alvarenga i Lourdes Alvarenga iz Hondurasa. Jose je kazao da je drugi put na seminaru, jer ima toliko stvari da se nauči za obitelj. Zaželio je puno uspjeha onima koji će doći poslije njih na ovaj seminar. Lourdes i Elio imaju desetero djece. Deveti puta su u Međugorju, a prvi puta na seminaru za bračne parove. „Kad sam prvi put pozvala supruga da pođe sa mnom u Međugorje, rekao je da sam luda. A nakon tolikih dolazaka, sada je on veliki zaljubljenik u Međugorje, isto kao i Jose.”- kazala je Lourdes. Petnaesti međunarodni seminar za bračne parove održat će se u Međugorju od 13. do 16. srpnja 2014. godine. „Povjerenje u braku i odgoju“ Program: Nedjelja , 13. srpnja 2014. Registracija sudionika Uvod u seminar Večernji molitveni program u crkvi Devetnaesti međunarodni seminar za svećenike, na kojemu se okupilo 306 svećenika i bogoslova iz 25 zemalja, odnosno 11 jezičnih skupina, završio je sv. misom zahvalnicom u subotu 12. srpnja, koju je predvodio voditelj seminara, fra Ljubo Kurtović, župnik u Veljacima. Sudionici su došli iz: Ukrajine, Koreje, Litve, Njemačke, Švicarske, Austrije, Brazila, Italije, Rusije, Hrvatske, BiH, Srbije, Slovenije, Mađarske, Češke, Slovačke, Francuske, Belgije, SAD-a, Irske, Perua, Ekvadora, Argentine, Španjolske i Poljske. Tema ovoga međunarodnog seminara bila je: „Evo ti Majke!” „U Gospinoj školi”. Po svjedočanstvima svećenika sudionika, razabiru se izuzetno dobri plodovi i odluka za dolazak za idući susret, dvadeseti po redu, u Međugorju. Mladi svećenik Mitja Bulić iz biskupije Novo Mesto (Slovenija) prvi put je sudjelovao na seminaru za svećenike u Međugorju. Rekao je da je postao svećenik prije godinu dana, a u Međugorju je bio 30-ak puta. „Vrlo duboka iskustva nosim sa seminara, zanimljivo mi je geslo „Evo ti Majke!“, jer cijeli život živim s Marijom, mislim da me ona vodi Isusu. Ovi dani u Međugorju za mene su velika milost. Ovakvi seminari nam pomažu mnogo u životu, to je nužno i potrebno. Ja mislim da sam ovdje otkrio duhovno zvanje, ovdje sam oživio svoju molitvu, čitanje Božje riječi. Prvi put sam došao kad sam imao 6 godina, i već tada sam osjetio nešto moćno i ne mogu to zaboraviti. Tu se osjeti mir, snaga molitve. Gdje god si u Međugorju, osjetiš mir”-kazao je mladi svećenik iz Slovenije. U Međugorju je u tijeku 19. međunarodni seminar za svećenike. Sudjeluje oko 300 svećenika, đakona i bogoslova iz 25 zemalja. Fra Luka Zorić, član Hercegovačke franjevačke provincije, djeluje u Slanom i prvi put sudjeluje na ovom seminaru:. „Prvi put sam ovdje na duhovnim vježbama. Na seminaru se osjeća zajedništvo. Sudionici žele doživjeti uistinu nešto novo kako bi mogli pastoralno bolje djelovati. Svake godine obavljam duhovne vježbe (to je dužan svaki svećenik) . Ne moram ići iz kuće, jer se održavaju duhovne vježbe i u Slanom ne samo za svećenike nego i za druge vjernike. Ove godine nisam uspio u duhovnim vježbama doživjeti ono što mogu ovdje doživjeti. Ovdje se opustim i potpuno se predam molitvi". Na 19. međunarodnom seminaru za svećenike sudjeluje oko 300 svećenika, đakona i bogoslova iz 25 zemalja: Ukrajine, Koreje, Litve, Njemačke, Švicarske, Austrije, Brazila, Italije, Rusije, Hrvatske, BiH, Srbije, Slovenije, Mađarske, Češke, Slovačke, Francuske, Belgije, SAD-a, Irske, Perua, Ekvadora. Argentine, Španjolske i Poljske. Započeo je u ponedjeljak, 7. srpnja 2014., večernjim molitveno liturgijskim programom. Misno slavlje je predslavio na vanjskom oltaru crkve sv. Jakova s još 234 svećenika fra Ljubo Kurtović, župnik u Veljacima. Fra Ljubo je i voditelj seminara. 19. duhovne vježbe za svećenike održat će se u Međugorju od 7. do 12. srpnja 2014. „Evo ti Majke!“ (Iv 19, 27) „U Gospinoj školi“ PROGRAM SEMINARA 7.srpnja 2014., ponedjeljak 15. 00 – 18. 00 Prijave sudionika (Nova dvorana) POČETAK SEMINARA Molitva krunice, sv. misa, molitva za ozdravljenje i slavna otajstva krunice Broj podijeljenih sv. pricesti: 211 000 Broj svećenika koncelebranata: 4139 (137 dnevno) Brojni su hodočasnici u Međugorju tijekom proteklih dana s nama podijelili iskustvo Međugorja. Susreli smo skupinu od 27 hodočasnika iz Ugande. Istaknuli su da su radosni zbog dolaska u Međugorje. „Ovdje se osjeća mir i naša Gospa je uistinu Kraljica mira. Taj mir jednostavno kao da te napadne i nađe se dosta vremena za molitvu u Međugorju”- kazali su hodočasnici iz Ugande. Fra Branimir Musa, župnik iz Tihaljine predslavio je, 25.lipnja 2014. na 33. obljetnicu Gospinih ukazanja u Međugorju središnje misno slavlje, na vanjskom oltaru crkve sv. Jakova u Međugorju, zajedno s 247 svećenika. Fra Branimir je istaknuo kako su obljetnice nekih događaja duboko ukorijenjene u svijest pojedinaca i naroda pa ih narodi i pojedinci pretvaraju u svetkovine i blagdane. Kazao je da i mi svetkujemo današnji dan jer se prije 33 godine, u ovom malom hercegovačkom selu, po riječima šestero vidjelaca – tada djeca, danas odrasli ljudi- ukazala Gospa s Isusom u naručju: „Ako se istina zaključuje iz djelovanja i djela, a ne iz apstraktnih premisa, onda je ovo djelo Božje, jer ovdje u Međugorju raste novi duhovni život. Međugorje kao sinonim ukazanja nije opozicija nego snaga jedne svete katoličke i apostolske Crkve. ''Krist je kriterij i podloga svim istinama''. Ovdje želimo propovijedati Krista i istinu. Mnogi postavljaju pitanja koliko je ljudi prošlo kroz Međugorje u ove 33 godine. Brojke nisu bitne. Mi ne brojimo hodočasnike ali ja znam da se u prošloj godini u Međugorju pričestilo 2 milijuna vjernika. To je snaga vjere i Crkve, to su čudesa koja hrane pale i grešne i slabe. Ako netko traži čudo da ozdravi, onda mora znati da čudo ne donosi samo zdravlje nego Boga, a s Bogom dolazi sve ostalo: mir, radost, praštanje. Čudo ne govori o čovjeku nego o Bogu. Čudo uvijek pomaže čovjeku da prepozna Boga. Čudo je bijela hostija u kojoj stanuje Bog.Zašto je Bog izabrao baš ovo mjesto? 33. obljetnica Gospinih ukazanja u Međugorju svečano je obilježena u srijedu, 25. lipnja 2014. Uz brojne hodočasnike iz Hrvatske i Bosne i Hercegovine, u Međugorju su u većim organiziranim skupinama boravili hodočasnici iz Italije, Mađarske, Njemačke, Francuske, Irske, SAD-a, Rumunjske, Kine, Vijetnama, Portorika, Slovenije, Poljske, Belgije, Slovačke, Koreje, Švicarske, Austrije, Australije, Španjolske, Albanije, Brazila, Hong-Konga, Meksika, Ukrajine, Libanona, Kanade, Kolumbije, Litve, Latvije, Portugala, Šri Lanke, Argentine, Urugvaja i Ugande. Osim uobičajenim prometnim sredstvima, zamjetljiv broj hodočasnika, posebice mladi, u Međugorje je pristigao pješice kako bi ispunili svoje zavjete Kraljici mira i zahvalili za udijeljene milosti. (slike) Večernju svetu misu na uočnicu Gospinih ukazanja u Međugorju na vanjskom oltaru crkve sv. Jakova predslavio je, u koncelebraciji 188 svećenika, fra Miro Šego, župnik župe Krista Kralja u Čitluku. Misno je slavlje uveličao veliki zbor Kraljice mira pod ravnanjem s. Irene Azinović. Fra Miro je na početku pozdravio sve okupljene, kako je kazao, u predvečerje obljetnice Gospina ukazanja. U propovijedi je, između ostalog istaknuo: Vidjelica Ivanka Ivanković Elez imala je redovito godišnje ukazanje 25. lipnja 2014. 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 4 minute, Ivanka je imala u svojoj obiteljskoj kući. Ukazanju je bila nazočna samo Ivankina obitelj. Nakon ukazanja vidjelica Ivanka je rekla: „ Gospa nam je dala svoj majčinski blagoslov“.
