Editorial board of Vecernji list , chose Apostolic Nuncio to Bosnia and Herzegovina as the person most meritorious for promoting inter-religion dialogue and tolerance. This February, as always, is a period when Medjugorje is not so packed with pilgrims. According to Information office, there have been groups from United States, Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Italy, Korea and Poland. We met Radoslav Daduliak from Slovakia who is currently working in Prague. Together with his wife Maria, this is their first trip to Medjugorje. He told us about his life and he is full of impressions about Medjugorje. “This is the first place I visited where you can feel how people live together with God. You can hear prayer; one indeed lives faith in Medjugorje. For me, Medjugorje is the most beautiful place in the whole world”, said Radoslav. From 4th to 7th February in Siroki Brijeg we remembered 66 years that passed since Herzegovinian Franciscans were killed, and the event is called Days of Killed Franciscans. 66 Franciscans were killed only from Herzegovinian Province during and after the World War II. Since 34 of them were from Siroki Brijeg monastery, and 12 were burned in the garden in front of the church, Siroki Brijeg was appointed as central place in the Province were this will take place and central day of celebration is on February 7th. February 10th is the Memorial Day of Blessed Alojzije Stepinac and day when we remember killed Franciscans from Medjugorje parish. Holy Mass at 6 p.m. will be celebrated for following late priests: Friar Krizan Galic, Friar Jozo Bencun, Friar Marko Dragicevic, Friar Mariofil Sivric, Friar Grgo Vasilj and Friar Jenko Vasilj who were brutally killed in the World War II. Holy Mass for seven Franciscans killed in Mostar will be celebrated on Monday, February 14th, and amongst those three were from Medjugorje parish: Friar Jozo Bencun, Friar Grgo Vasilj and Friar Bernardin Smoljan who built the cross on the Cross Mountain as a parish priest back in 1933. Dr. Tomislav Ivancic conducted spiritual renewal in Medjugorje from January 28th to January 30th, 2011. He has been involved in the events of Medjugorje ever since October 1982 and has conducted up to this date numerous spiritual renewals, retreats, lectures and gave a number of homilies in this parish. Spiritual renewal began on Friday, January 28th with the evening Holy Mass that Dr. Ivancic celebrated. Apart from leading the evening prayer programme, he also gave a number of other talks for parishioners, employees of Parish Office, owners of pensions and hotels, as well as for the children and the youth. He met with members of community “Merciful Father”. On Sunday, January 30th he was the main celebrant at two morning Holy Masses, 9.30 a.m. for the children and their parents and at 11 a.m. central morning Holy Mass for the parish, which was the end of spiritual renewal. Besides parishioners, this was opportunity for faithful from other parishes to come and to participate at the programme. (photo) Number of Holy Communions: 51.500 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 948 (30 per day) From Friday, January 28 to Sunday, January 30 there will be spiritual renewal held in the parish of Medjugorje and leader is going to be Dr. Tomislav Ivancic from Zagreb. “Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet have believed” (Jn 20, 29) Christianne Claessens – the first witness of healing of woman from Switzerland Joelle Beuret – Devanthery in Medjugorje, in October 2010, as she describes the pilgrimage and all of the events. On Saturday, October 16, 2010, forty six people, mostly from the parish of St. Frances de Sales and St. Therese, began their private pilgrimage to Medjugorje. It was our twentieth private pilgrimage that was taking place at the time when we remembered twentieth anniversary of forming the prayer group of Queen of Peace. For our group, that was a wonderful opportunity to thank the Lord, since Mary took each one of us by our hand, and guided us despite all of the difficulties that we had throughout these last twenty years. Indeed, Satan cannot stand Virgin Mary and he therefore hates all of the prayer groups that she desires to be founded in every single parish. Through God’s grace, we remained faithful and we used to gather every Monday for prayer, meditation of Christ’s life, all accompanied with the messages that Mary gave and is still giving every month in Medjugorje. Along with many parishioners and people from this region, numerous pilgrims have arrived from all over the world to be here, in Medjugorje for New Year’s prayer vigil. According to the registration data in Information Office, there were pilgrims from around 15 European countries, as well as groups from Korea, Lebanon, United States, Ghana, Honduras, Benin and other countries. After Holy Mass of Thanksgiving, community Cenacolo had another live Nativity scene performance in front of the church of St. James. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament started at 10 p.m. and Vigil Holy Mass at 11.30 p.m. Danko Perutina was the main celebrant and there were 136 priests concelebrating as well. The whole evening prayer programme was simultaneously translated in many world languages, and International Youth Choir and Orchestra accompanied the whole programme with their song and music. Thousands of these young people came to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Medjugorje, far from the usual, ordinary way of celebration practiced in the rest of the world. Church of St. James was too little for so many people, and programme was broadcasted through video walls in the Yellow Hall, in the green tent, while the White Dome and the area in front of the church were also full of people that could not fit any of these provided areas. Radio station “Mir” Medjugorje, as well as many internet portals broadcasted the whole programme from the church of St. James. Number of Holy Communions: 75.500 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 1424 (45 per day) The traditional annual meeting of scholars of “Fra Slavko Barbaric” Association was held in Medjugorje on Wednesday, December 29th. Meeting started at 1 p.m. with the Holy Mass celebrated by the President of the Association Fr. Miljenko Steko. Karlo Lovric spoke to the students after Holy Mass and said how one can recognise in this Association a man, a Franciscan and a priest, Fr. Slavko Barbaric, who had heart for the needs of the young people and decided to establish this Association so he could help to them. And indeed, from His fullness we have received grace to grace, for He is our peace! With desire that God’s peace reigns in all of the hearts, all of the families, all of the countries and in the whole world, united in prayer with all of the friends of Medjugorje throughout the world: MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! May this Christmas be for you day of joy and peace. May Jesus visit you in your families and may he be born in the hidden place of your heart! Parish Office of Medjugorje Information Centre “Mir” Medjugorje (photos) Čestitka - Fra Petar Vlašić, župnik 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 2:25 pm and lasted 7 minutes. Jakov said: “Our Lady spoke to me about the secrets and at the end said: ‘Pray, pray, pray.’ As in the previous years, Medjugorje parish is preparing for Christmas this year with Novena that began on December 15. Early Holy Masses in the packed church of St. James are celebrated at 6 a.m. every day except on Sundays, and Franciscan Youth - Frama are singing and making celebration even more beautiful. Parishoners and pilgrims are climbing the Hill of Apparitions every day at 2 p.m. to pray the Rosary, while evening prayer programme begins at 5 p.m. every day with the prayer of the Rosary. Due to the usually large number of pilgrims during Christmas, parishoners are confessing on daily basis and in that way preparing for celebration of the Birth of Jesus Christ. As in the previous years, community of Cenacolo is going to have performance - live Nativity scene in the area at the back of the church. Many pilgrims are coming to Medjugorje in this time of preparation for Christmas – Advent. Maria Fujie Ito and Paulo Masanovi Yamasaki came to Medjugorje for the first time from Japan. They travelled for thirty hours from Japan to come to this place of prayer and reconciliation. Maria said that she heard about Medjugorje twenty years ago, but could not come earlier due to business obligations. She is grateful to everybody for wonderful hospitality towards her here, and added: “I believe in Our Lady’s messages, in her presence and everything that she has been saying to us. When I retire I will come again here. This pilgrimage is a great experience for me. I really enjoyed climbing the Apparition Hill and praying Rosary there, that was what my heart needed so much, and I am truly grateful for being here. I will bring more pilgrims from Japan. “Paulo heard about Medjugorje twenty years ago and then he read a book about Medjugorje. “The most important about Christianity is in Medjugorje. You can really feel that here, while in Japan unfortunately people have forgot about that”, said Paulo. On Wednesday, December 8th, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary was celebrated in Medjugorje. This famous destination of pilgrims was again packed with pilgrims from all over the world, and all came to be here for the Feast of Our Lady. Majority was from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia and there were organised groups from Italy, Germany, France, Korea and England. There were smaller groups of pilgrims from all over the world, from United States to Japan. Many priests were available for the sacrament of Holy Confession as they would normally be. There were three Holy Masses in Croatian language, two in Italian and one in German, French, Korean and English.

Prigodom boravka bečkoga nadbiskupa kardinala Christopha Schönborna u Međugorju, s njim je razgovarao Max Domej, Gebetsaktion Wien U Lurdu i Fatimi Crkva je donijela svoj sud, svoj konačni sud, tek nakon što su događaji bili okončani. Do toga će i u ovom slučaju prije ili kasnije doći, ali i tu ostavljamo Majci Božjoj slobodne ruke…. Mislim da Međugorje može mirno nastaviti ići svojim putem s povjerenjem da će Crkva, Majka i Učiteljica, ovdje doista dobro pratiti put kojim se ide. U srijedu, 13. siječnja 2010. u SK bolnici u Mostaru, nakon kratke i teške bolesti, u 55. godini života, umro je profesor Martin Pero Boras s Hardomilja. Profesor Boras je podučavao glazbu mnogim generacijama franjevačkih sjemeništaraca i novaka na Humcu, predavao u više škola, a uz njegovu pomoć i vodstvo djelovale su brojne glazbene sekcije u bratstvima FRAME u Hercegovini, pa tako i u Međugorju. Posebno prepoznatljiv pečat prof. Boras ostavio je kao ravnatelj međunarodnog zbora i orkestra koji je animirao pjevanje na Međunarodnom festivalu mladih u Međugorju, te za vrijeme Molitvenoga dočeka Nove godine. Iza njega je ostala supruga i četvero djece. Sprovod pokojnog Martina Pere je u petak, 15. siječnja na groblju na Žabaru, župa Humac u 14 sati. Počivao u miru Božjem. 'Došli smo ovdje kako bismo bili bliski Gospodinovoj Majci', rekli se na misi polnoćki u Međugorju, Vaša Eminencijo. Ove su riječi snažno odjeknule. Molim za pojašnjenje?! Kardinal: Ja ne mogu zataškati da ljudi dvadeset godina dolaze u Međugorje, kao i to što doživljavaju u Međugorju, da osjećaju blizinu Majke Božje. Ja još do sada nikada nisam bio u Međugorju. Ovdje sam prvi put, ali od trenutka od kako sam biskup, a to je od 1991. godine, jednostavno sam primijetio i kod nas kući plodove Međugorja. U Međugorju je za Novu godinu boravilo preko deset tisuća hodočasnika, uglavnom mladih, iz cijeloga svijeta. Nakon svete Mise zahvalnice koju je u 18 sati predvodio fra Svetozar Kraljević, zajednica Cenacolo je pred crkvom sv. Jakova uprizorila likovima, evanđeoskim tekstovima, pjesmom i glazbom Betlehemske žive jaslice. Klanjanje Isusu u Presvetom oltarskom sakramentu, od 22 do 23 sata, predvodio je dr. fra Miljenko Šteko, a sv. Misu koja je započela u 23,15, na latinskome jeziku, predvodio je nadbiskup bečki, kardinal dr. Christoph Schönborn, u suslavlju dr. fra Ivana Sesara, provincijala Hercegovačke franjevačke provincije i drugih 120 svećenika. Čitav Molitveni program pratio je svojim pjevanjem i sviranjem Međunarodni zbor i orkestar. (slike) Propovijed beckog kardinala dr. Christoph Schonborn u Medjugorju - 31.12.2009.

Večernji molitveni program započinje u 17 sati molitvom krunice, a u 18 sati je sv. Misa zahvalnica za proteklu godinu. Prije vigilije, zajednica Cenacolo upriličit će Žive jaslice na prostoru ispred crkve. Klanjanje Isusu u Presvetom oltarskom sakramentu započinje u 22 sata, a sv. Misa, koju na latinskome jeziku predvodi nadbiskup bečki, kardinal dr. Christoph Schönborn, započinje u 23,15. U Međugorju je 30. prosinca 2009. održan godišnji susret stipendista Udruge «Fra Slavko Barbarić». Susret je u 14 sati, molitvom i pozdravom studentima, otvorio predsjednik Udruge dr. fra Miljenko Šteko, zahvalivši članovima Udruge na suradnji i zajedničkom radu. Predsjednik se osobito zahvalio brojnim dobročiniteljima koji su, unatoč mnogim poteškoćama u doba recesije, i ove godine bili otvoreni i spremni pomoći potrebnim studentima talentima. U ovoj akademskoj godini na natječaj za stipendije prijavilo se 265 studenata, od toga 228 onih koji su ispunili uvjete natječaja. K tomu, Udruga je ove godine zaprimila i brojne zamolbe jednokratne pomoći. (slike) U Međugorje je ponedjeljak 28. prosinca, u privatni posjet, stigao nadbiskup bečki, kardinal dr. Christoph Schönborn, a u Međugorju će ostati nekoliko dana. Kardinal, povrh svega, želi, uz posjet Cenacolu - koji svoju podružnicu ima i u Austriji, u ovom poznatom molitvenom mjestu biti molitelj. Kardinal Schönborn (1945.) je od 1975 do 1991. profesor je dogmatike i teologije kršćanskoga Istoka u Fribourgu (Švicarska), a od 1987. do 1992. je tajnik redakcije za izdavanje novoga Katekizma Katoličke Crkve.
