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. The first International Seminar for doctors, nurses and medical workers, which gathered more than 150 participants from 15 countries finished on Saturday, May 11, 2013 with celebration of Holy Mass. Participants were from various professions such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists, medical technicians, as well as pro-life activists. This seminar began on Tuesday, May 7, 2013 and the theme was: “Spiritual renewal for soul and body”. The lecturers were Fr. Ante Vuckovic, dean at the Catholic Faculty of Theology in Split and Fr. Marinko Sakota, parish priest from Medjugorje. Besides lectures that were held in the morning and in the afternoon, all participants took part in the regular evening prayer programme of Medjugorje parish. They gathered on Wednesday morning to pray Rosary on Apparition Hill and on Friday morning they prayed the Way of the Cross on Cross Mountain. After the preparation through the religious teaching, thirty children in parish Mejugorje received their sacrament of the First Holy Communion on May 5, 2013. Slaven Brekalo celebrated Holy Mass and children choir “Doves of Peace” from Medjugorje parish made that celebration even more solemn. What makes Medjugorje more special is that numerous pilgrims were present at this celebration and they came from Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Brazil, England, Ireland, the United States, Canada, France, Italy, Poland, Lebanon, Hungary, Belgium, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Korea and China. Number of Holy Communions: 160 000 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 3232 (107 per day) Ivan Matić is a priest from Croatian Franciscan Province of Sts. Cyril and Methodius seated in Zagreb. He was born in Janjevo, came to Croatia, to Zagreb, where he began his Franciscan journey and worked mainly with youth. He studied in Rome at the time Franciscan Youth was founded, and in Assisi, while in 2000, he returned to Zagreb and came to work in the church of St. Francis in Kaptol. Summer schedule of the prayer programme begins on May 1st. Rosary will be at 6 p.m. and Holy Mass at 7 p.m. while after Holy Mass the regular prayer programme will follow, depending on the day in the week. Adorations on Wednesdays and Saturdays will start at 10 p.m. Devotion of the Way of the Cross on Cross Mountain is on Fridays at 4 p.m., while Rosary on Apparition Hill is on Sundays at 4 p.m. Robert Bahcic, a member of the Slovenian Franciscan Province, was in Medjugorje in the end of April. Robert spent last seven years living in Rome in the Franciscan General Curia, where he served for the first three years as a guardian priest. At the same time, he was also responsible for the bulletin “Fraternitas” that brings news about the activities of the Franciscans in the world. “I was in Medjugorje on several occasions, but this is the first time that I took some time for myself only. I found lots of faith here. There is something in Medjugorje that attracts people to pray and to meditate; this is where they feel inner peace. This is indeed richness that needs to be spread”, said Fr. Robert. Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow from Scotland is the founder of the Humanitarian Organisation Mary’s Meals. This global project was initiated in 2002 with the project of providing food for 200 hungry children in Malawi. Mary’s Meals provide food today for more than 730.000 children in 16 countries throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, South America and Caribbean. Magnus is a father of seven children and they gladly come to Medjugorje on a pilgrimage, because this is where his life was completely changed. He came here for the first time in 1983, as fourteen years old boy, together with his brothers, sisters and cousins. He told us that it was in that week lives of all of them were changed: “We returned to Scotland and made strong decision to live God in our lives. Our parents could see something was different with us and later, they decided to come here with us. Ever since that time, I came here, to Medjugorje on many occasions.” Mary’s Meals have developed out of the humanitarian work Marcus had initiated during the homeland war in this region.

Članovi sastava Antonius iz Sarajeva boravili su nedavno u Međugorju. Tom su prigodom gostovali i na radiopostaji Mir Međugorje. Složna, vesela i pričljiva ekipa mladih posvjedočila je o radu i svjedočenju kroz duhovnu glazbu, blagoslovu koji su primili kroz 5 godina djelovanja, a sve su povezali pjesmom koja se rađala u njihovim srcima. Plod njihovog rada je album ''Deus meus et omnia – Bog moj i sve moje'', objavljen 2011. godine na kojem se nalazi 11 pjesama. I ove godine organiziramo duhovnu obnovu naše župe 21.,22. i 23. veljače (petak, subota i nedjelja). U crkvi sv. Jakova u Međugorju: molitva krunice u 17 sati, sv. misa u 18 sati. Nakon sv. mise u dvorani bl. Ivana Pavla II. (žuta dvorana) predavanje i razmjena iskustava. Duhovnu obnovu predvode franjevci na službi u župi Međugorje. Dođimo i duhovno se obnovimo. U subotu, 15. veljače 2014. postulanti Franjevačke provincije Bosne Srebrene posjetili su postulante Hercegovačke franjevačke provincije u Mostaru. Postulante iz Visokog i njihovog meštra fra Danijela Rajića dočekalo je osam postulanata i njihov meštar fra Stanko Mabić. Danko Kustura iz Splita prvi je put u Međugorje hodočastio ubrzo nakon što su počela ukazanja te nastavio dolaziti barem dva puta godišnje. Cijeli svoj život živio je kršćanski, no hodočašća u Međugorje osnažila su njegovu vjeru. Redovito čita katolički tisak, a od svoje skromne mirovine prijatelje i rodbinu redovito daruje godišnjom pretplatom na Glasnik mira. Kaže da se glas o ukazanju u Međugorju širio poput vjetra. U Međugorje prvi put hodočasti 10. travnja 1983.: Članovi sastava Apostoli Mira iz Zagreba/Mađareva nedavno su boravili u Međugorju. Tom prigodom su posjetili i Radiopostaju „Mir“ Međugorje te ispričali kako je započeo njihov put, kako je Gospodina slaviti pjesmom, ali i osobno iskustvo Međugorja. Ističu kako svaki put u Međugorju osjete mir koji se riječima ne može opisati: „ Uvijek je lijepo doći u Međugorje, napuniti baterije i opet se vratiti u sadašnjost, u obveze s Marijinim blagoslovom koji je prisutan na svakom koraku. Posebna radost, posebna ljubav se osjeti u Međugorju”-kažu mladi, članovi sastava Apostoli Mira. Duhovna glazbena skupina Apostoli mira osnovana je jubilarne 2000. godine. Nastupili su na brojnim molitvenim susretima. U međugorskoj župnoj crkvi sv. Jakova u ponedjeljak ,10. veljače, na blagdan Stepinčeva, slavljena je sveta misa za fratre iz ove župe ubijene koncem Drugoga svjetskog rata i u poraću kao i za župljane stradale u Prvome, Drugome te u Domovinskom ratu. Danas se još ne zna za posljednja počivališta mnogih, ali sjećanje na njih živi u molitvi vjernih. Večernje misno slavlje u 18 sati, u međugorskoj župnoj crkvi, predslavio je fra Ivan Dugandžić u koncelebraciji 6 svećenika. Fra Ante Perković, član Hercegovačke franjevačke provincije, preminuo je u njedjelju, 09. veljače 2014., pred sv. misu, koju je trebao slaviti u Stipanićima, župa Tomislavgrad, od srčanog udara u 77. godini života, 58. godini redovništva i 50. godini svećeništva.

Kao svećenik službovao je u Posušju, Tomislavgradu, Frohnleitenu (Austrija), Čerinu, Šuici, Singenu (Njemačka), Vitini, Gradnićima, Frauenfeldu (Švicarska), Međugorju, a smrt ga je zatekla kao župnog vikara u Tomislavgradu. Bio je gvardijan u Tomislavgradu u vremenu od 1978. do 1985. , kad je iz temelja obnovio tomislavgradsku baziliku. Sv. misa zadušnica za pok. fra Antu slavit će se 11. veljače 2014. u 13,00 sati u crkvi u Tomislavgradu, a potom sprovodni obredi i ukop na groblju Karalula. U Širokom Brijegu je od 4. do 7. veljače obilježena 69. godišnjica stradanja hercegovačkih franjevaca, odnosno četvrdi po redu dani pobijenih hercegovačkih franjevaca. I ove godine dan obljetnice, 7. veljače obilježen je kao »Dan sjećanja na pobijene franjevce i puk«. Tada su pokopana i dvojica hercegovačkih franjevaca, fra Martin Sopta i fra Slobodan Lončar, koji su prošle godine identificirani u masovnoj grobnici u Ljubuškom. U ponedjeljak, 10. veljače spomendan je bl. kardinala Alojzija Stepinca i dan kada se sjećamo stradalih franjevaca međugorske župe.

Clemens s Martiniquea je prvi put došao u Međugorje sa skupinom hodočasnika iz Francuske. Za Međugorje je čuo odavno. Htio je doći i ranije, ali svaki put su bile neke prepreke koje su to onemogućavale. Kaže da je Međugorje poznato u cijelome svijetu: „Postoji radiopostaja koja se zove Radio St. Louis. To je vjerska radiopostaja i na njoj se puno govori o Međugorju i sada se na cijelom svijetu zna za mjesto koje se zove Međugorje. U nedjelju, 2. veljače u crkvi sv. Jakova u Međugorju, mladi, članovi Franjevačke mladeži iz Međugorja, imali su obred obećanja pod večernjom sv. misom u 18 sati koju je predslavio fra Slaven Brekalo, područni duhovni asistent, u koncelebraciji 11 svećenika. Taj dan bila je Svijećnica ili Kalandora, tako da je fra Slaven to uklopio u obred obećanja. „Dragi međugorski framaši, ova svetkovina koja se danas slavi i ova vaša obećanja Bogu nisu slučajna da se baš danas slave, jer se ova svetkovina prije zvala blagdan susreta. Član Hrvatske salezijanske provincije sv. Ivana don Bosca Josip Petričić čest je hodočasnik u Međugorju. Dolazi iz Zagreba, ima 25 godina. Završio je srednju grafičku školu. Kao mali dječak oduševio se svećeništvom, jer je njegov ujak svećenik: „Preko ljeta sam išao s njim na ispomoć, i to me oduševilo, jer me činilo radosnim pomagati drugima. To je mali žar koji me potaknuo da krenem u svećeništvo. Obavještavamo hodočasničke skupine da će se 25. jubilarni Festival mladih u Međugorju održavati od 31. 8. 2014., što znači da počinje dan ranije nego prošle godine. Nadamo se da ćete stići organizirati rezervacije zrakoplova i autobusa. Molitveni susret mladih pokrenuo je pokojni fra Slavko Barbarić 1990. godine, okupivši te godine stotinjak mladih, dva svirača s gitarom te nekoliko pjevača, a sve se održavalo u zelenom šatoru. Svake godine broj sudionika se povećavao, te brojem prerastao sva druga međugorska okupljanja. Radujemo se i ove godine vašem dolasku! Broj podijeljenih sv. pricesti: 50 000 Broj svećenika koncelebranata: 870 (28 dnevno) U nedjelju, 2. veljače u crkvi sv. Jakova u Međugorju, mladi, članovi Franjevačke mladeži iz Međugorja imat će obred obećanja pod večernjom svetom misom u 18 sati. Franjevačka mladež u Međugorju djeluje od 1995. Izrasla je iz molitvene skupine mladih koju je vodio fra Slavko Barbarić. Prvi susreti Frame održavali su se petkom nakon večernje sv. mise, a tako je ostalo do danas. Svake godine Međugorje posjete brojni hodočasnici. Njihova živa svjedočanstva su kockice koje oblikuju predivan mozaik, sliku Međugorja. Supružnici Neli i Igor Kanižaj ističu kako je svaki posjet Međugorju velika radost i novo duboko iskustvo. Igor je Međugorje upoznao još kao framaš i svaki posjet u njegov život bi donosio nešto novo, primarno mir:
