The 24th International Youth Festival that began on Thursday, August 1, 2013 finished on Tuesday, August 6, 2013 with Holy Mass of Thanksgiving celebrated at 5 a.m. on the top of Cross Mountain by Fr. Danko Perutina, coordinator of this meeting. Dozens of thousands of young people gathered in Medjugorje this year and they came from 60 different countries. The programme of the Youth Festival would start at 9 a.m. with the Morning Prayer and would continue with lectures, testimonies and lessons from Christian life throughout the rest of the day. The evening prayer programme would begin at 6 p.m. with Rosary and the central event of every day was Holy Mass at 7 p.m. The opening Holy Mass was celebrated by the Provincial of Herzegovina Franciscan Province, Dr. Fr. Miljenko Steko. Every other night, four newly ordained priests were the main celebrants: Fr. Stanko Cosic, Fr. Mario Ostojic, Fr. Josip Serdjo Cavar and Fr. Mijo Sarcevic, while the homilies were given by their older brothers: Fr. Slaven Brekalo, Fr. Petar Ljubicic, Fr. Svetozar Kraljevic and Fr. Danko Perutina. The largest number of priests who have concelebrated at those Holy Masses was on Thursday, when 515 of them were present. (foto) ; (video) Marijo Jerković, Petra Grancarić and Antonija Rebrina walked from Zagreb to Medjugore and it took them sixteen days for the journey of more than 500 km. It was Marijo who initiated this trip after he read some of the testimonies from Medjugorje, among those one about lady who walked from Poland and about pilgrim who converted in Medjugorje and became a priest. Our young pilgrims began their pilgrimage on July 11, 2013 and were very impressed by goodness of the people they met on their way and who have helped them in many ways. “We received one beautiful experience; Gospa followed us on every step we took. We always carry beautiful impressions from Medjugorje”, they said and thanked all from Zagreb to Medjugorje. The community “Merciful Father” introduced their work and activities to young people at the 24th International Youth Festival on Monday, August 5, 2013. This community is based in Bijakovici and it is led by Fr. Svetozar Kraljevic who said: “Today I would like to congratulate boys - some of them have been with us for more than three years. It is huge when one young man comes from the street into the prayer, serious work, into love, care, affection where he learns how to say: I am sorry…thank you…can I help you…where rosary beads become every day decoration of soul, heart, mind and body. People in the community discover gifts that God gave them at the birth, they discover beauty, kind words, mercy, compassion, something they never knew of. Therefore, I would like to congratulate these boys once again and I am rejoicing because of the extreme happiness of their families. The Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament took place nearly every night after the evening prayer programme. Many have told us that it was exactly Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament that they found to be so special and most moving for them. Suzana from Petrinja comes to the Youth Festival for seven years now and she came this year in the group of ninety pilgrims. She told us: “More people come here every year. I love listening to the testimonies and I found them moving indeed, but I am most impressed by the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.” Tatjana from Slovenia also told us that she loves coming here because of homilies, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and Holy Masses. Liam Lawton from Ireland grew up in a big family with five children and he was ordained as a priest in 1984. He said how he was moved by the faith of the local people when he first arrived to Medjugorje. Liam comes from the family of musicians and his desire was to live music at the same time with priesthood. The crucial moment for him was encouragement he received after confessing before Fr. Slavko Barbaric who invited him to sing few songs during the Holy Mass that same evening. After singing during the Holy Communion he also accompanied Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament with his music. That was the beginning of the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament that we have today in Medjugorje. The traditional procession with thousands of young people from sixty different countries took place on Sunday, August 4, 2013, after the evening Holy Mass, as a part of the 24th International Youth Festival. Procession started from the church with Our Lady’s statue and candles in the hands of participants and followed the main road towards the Apparition Hill, Cross Mountain and ended with the prayer outside the White Dome. Stanko Cosic celebrated the evening Holy Mass on Friday, August 2, 2013 along with 515 priests that concelebrated. Slaven Brekalo gave a homily and said to youth: “You have come here, but we cannot all stay here, we need to return to where we have come from. That is exactly what God wishes for you so you would witness what you have experienced here. You should never forget Holy Scripture. The Gospel is joyful news and not some tyranny, it is not some condemnation but it is joyful news full of grace and love. Gospa invited you here but She sends you further because that is God’s logics, God invites and then He sends. He has no one else to send but you. Be holy!” (photos) Among young people from sixty countries who participate in the 24th International Youth Festival in Medjugorje we met Tatjana who came from Slovenia. This is Tatjana’s twelfth visit to the Youth Festival. She briefly told us: “I come because of homilies, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, testimonies and Holy Masses. It is good for us to be here with the Queen of Peace. It is crowded, but we do not have problem with that.” Young people from Slavonija, region on north of Croatia, arrived to the Youth Festival in the great number. We spoke to Sanja Stivanovic and Darko Ilijasic from Slavnoski Brod. “Medjugorje is alwas a special event for us, we always bring something beautiful from here. As we look at such a great number of young people that were gathered here by Gospa, that is indeed experience that changes every one of us.” Darko came for the first time and said: “I was extremely impressed by such a great number of young people at one place. So much joy and so much sincere and open love.” Medjugorje is all about youth in these days since this is the week when the 24th International Youth Festival is held with theme: “Faith working through love.” The official beginning of the Festival was on Thursday, August 1 at the White Dome. Rosary was led by Fr. Antonio Sakota and Holy Mass at 7 p.m. was celebrated by Provincial of Herzegovina Franciscan Province, Dr. Fr. Miljenko Sakota along with 470 priests who concelebrated at Holy Mass. At the beginning of this Holy Mass, young people from Medjugorje greeted all young people from all over the world, and then every country had opportunity for short introduction. Young people from 60 countries came to participate. (photos) Marija and Andrea Šuštar, Branko Uljan, Uroš Karadžija and Boštjan Hari came to the International Youth Festival from Slovenia. They shared their experiences with journalists of radio Mir Medjugorje and said: “Medjugorje is a special place and prayer and confessions are the most beautiful for us. We are all one here, we are all friends.” They also told us that in Medjugorje one can feel strongly God’s vicinity and they are all joyful and happy because of new friendships and deepening of their faith. Jasna Mihelić and Klara Ćurić from Požega, and Vanja Bajivić and Ana Antolić from Virovitica came by bicycle on July 31st to Medjugorje so they would participate in the 24th International Youth Festival. Their journey was 700 kilometers long and it took them seven days to come here. They first prayed at the Statue of Our Lady so they would thank Her for safe and blessed journey. “We are happy to be here and we will most probably repeat this pilgrimage again.” Klara decided to do this because of penance and to thank God for all she has in her life. “I was also moved to come here like this because my father also came to Medjugorje nine years ago by bicycle to fulfill wow he gave to Gospa. He was seriously ill and he said that if gets better, he would come to Her by bicycle. I hope to come here next year again with my dad so we would celebrate 10 years of his first pilgrimage.” Klara came here couple of times before by bus and this is her first time to be here for the Youth Festival. Number of Holy Communions: 143 400 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 5003 (166 per day) Medjugorje, August 1 – 6, 2013 Faith working through love Wednesday, 31. 18.00 - Rosary 19.00 - Holy Mass (general rehearsal for the choir and the orchestra) 20.30 - Prayer for healing 21.00 - Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament (general rehearsal for the choir and the orchestra) Parish office Medjugorje and local communities Bijakovici and Medjugorje have organised Symposium on Fr.

U nedjelju, 13. siječnja 2013., u župi Međugorje za vrijeme pučke svete mise trideset osoba, većinom mladih bračnih parova, primljeno je u Franjevački svjetovni red – Treći red sv. Franje. Kroz više od godinu dana s njima je radio i za ovaj čin ih pripremao fra Danko Perutina, župni vikar. Obred primanja predvodila je Marija Brekalo, područna ministra FSR-a, koja je kandidate i primila u Red, a njihovo primanje je u ime Crkve i Franjevačke obitelji potvrdio fra Josip Vlašić, područni duhovni asistent. Fra Josip je predvodio i misno slavlje te je održao propovijed u kojoj je potaknuo nove članove FSR-a da im u misi i pričesti bude snaga, u ispovijedi odmor i olakšanje, u evanđelju svjetlo i nadahnuće, a u bratskom zajedništvu radost i pomoć. Na koncu misnog slavlja prisutnima se obratio i međugorski župnik fra Marinko Šakota, izražavajući radost i čestitke novim članovima trećarskog bratstva. Nakon misnog slavlja, bratsko zajedništvo je nastavljeno u prostorijama župe. Nove članove međugorskog FSR-a će kroz godinu novicijata posebno pratiti i za zavjete pripremati Mila Čuljak, područna voditeljica formacije. (svjetovni-franjevci.info) Novinari radiopostaje Mir Međugorje, susrećući hodočasnike u prvim danima nove godine, zabilježili su raznovrsna svjedočanstva od kojih izdvajamo: Tacita Ludivine dolazi iz Francuske Gvajane. Ovo joj je prvi dolazak u Međugorje. ''U Međugorje sam htjela doći jer sam bila daleko od Isusa i ovo mi je način da opet pronađem Božji put'' - kazala je Tacita koja je došla sa skupinom od 30 osoba. Odlazak u Međugorje za mnoge je potraga za čudom, ukazanjem, posebnom porukom. Ni teolozi nizu pošteđeni pitanja vjerničke znatiželje događa li se ondje nešto posebno. Možda više od ostalih, teolozi se na takvim mjestima u sebi „bore“ sa znanjem, disciplinom, poslušnošću hijerarhiji, osobnim životom i Bogom koji, i kad šuti, puno govori. Mnogi su me pitali što mislim o međugorskim ukazanjima? No, ne smatram se pozvanom suditi jesu li ona stvarna i kojem redu pripadaju. Zapravo, s njima moja vjera niti ne raste niti ne pada. Čekam mišljenje Svetog Oca koji će o tome dati zadnju riječ kad za to dođe vrijeme. Ovdje želim dati taj traženi odgovor što mislim kroz svjedočanstvo za Krista koji je i u Međugorju, kao i u svim euharistijama na svijetu jedan jedini, stvarno prisutan, toliko jak da bez riječi protrese i dušu i misli. Međugorje me privuklo kao mjesto u meni dragoj BiH, kao jedna drugačija stvarnost od zagrebačke rutine. Ponekad je potrebno otići u drugi kraj, odmaknuti se od svakodnevice da se misli stišaju i da duša malo predahne. U Međugorju su u molitvi Novu 2013. godinu, osim župljana, dočekale i tisuće hodočasnika iz cijeloga svijeta. Prema podacima Ureda informacija u Međugorju su boravile veće skupine iz: Njemačke, Italije, Poljske, Koreje, Kine, Engleske, Slovačke, Češke, SAD-a, Francuske, Španjolske, Rumunjske, Slovenije i Mađarske. Uz njih, te manje skupine iz mnogih država svijeta, na molitvu se slilo i mnoštvo mladih iz Hrvatske i BiH. Svetu misu zahvalnicu za 2012. godinu, u ponedjeljak 31. prosinca, predslavio je fra Miljenko Šteko u koncelebraciji 49 svećenika. Broj podijeljenih sv. pricesti: 78 900 Broj svećenika koncelebranata: 1292 (41 dnevno) U protekloj 2012. godini podijeljeno je ukupno 1 814 900 sv. pričesti, a na sv. misama je koncelebriralo 42 009 svećenika. Međugorje za molitveni doček Nove 2013. godine očekuje nekoliko tisuća hodočasnika, uglavnom mladih, iz čitavoga svijeta. Molitvena noć na Silvestrovo, u ponedjeljak 31. 12. 2012., započinje molitvom krunice u 17 sati. Večernja sv. Misa zahvalnica je u 18, a nakon svete Mise zajednica "Cenacolo" uprizoruje Žive jaslice na platou ispred crkve. U 22 sata počinje molitveno bdijenje pred Presvetim, a potom je svečana sv. Misa. I ove godine cjelokupan program moguće je slikom i tonom pratiti u Velikoj dvorani bl. Ivana Pavla II., a svi oni koji budu ostali izvan natkrivenih prostora, program mogu pratiti na velikome vanjskom ekranu iza crkve. Doček Nove godine iz župne crkve sv. Jakova u Međugorju uživo će prenositi i Radiopostaja Mir Međugorje. U subotu 29. prosinca 2012., s početkom u 15 sati, u Međugorju je održan godišnji susret studenata Udruge «Fra Slavko Barbarić». Ove Akademske godine stipendije i potpore primilo je ukupno 229 (dvije stotine dvadeset i devet) studenata, sa svih fakulteta i smjerova. Susret je, pozdravom studentima, otvorio predsjednik Udruge dr. fra Miljenko Šteko, zahvalivši članovima Udruge na suradnji i zajedničkom radu, a darovateljima na darežljivosti. Sudionicima je potom, dopredsjednik udruge i ravnatelj Majčinog sela, fra Svetozar Kraljević održao predavanje o Kulturi činjenja dobra. Doista, od punine njegove svi primismo, i to milost na milost, jer On je MIR naš! Sa željom da Božji mir vlada u srcima, u obiteljima, u svim zemljama i na cijelom svijetu, sjedinjeni u molitvi sa svim prijateljima Međugorja širom svijeta: NA DOBRO VAM DOŠAO BOŽIĆ I SVETO POROĐENJE ISUSOVO i NOVA 2013. GODINA! Neka vam ovaj Božić bude dan radosti i mira. Neka Vas Isus pohodi u vašim obiteljima i rodi se u skrovitosti vašega srca! Župni ured Međugorje Informativni centar «Mir» Međugorje (slike) Na posljednjem svakodnevnom ukazanju, 12. rujna 1998., Gospa je Jakovu Čoli rekla da će ukazanje imati jedanput godišnje i to 25. prosinca, na Božić. Tako je bilo i ove godine. Ukazanje je počelo u 14 sati i 15 minuta i trajalo je 10 minuta. Jakov je, nakon toga, prenio poruku: "Draga djeco, darujte mi vaš život i potpuno mi se predajte da vam mogu pomoći shvatiti moju majčinsku ljubav i ljubav moga Sina prema vama. Djeco moja, ja vas neizmjerno volim i danas na poseban način, na dan rođenja moga Sina, želim svakoga od vas primiti u svoje srce i vaše živote darovati mome Sinu. Djeco moja, Isus vas voli i daje vam milost da živite u njegovu milosrđu, ali mnoga vaša srca je obuzeo grijeh i živite u tami. Zato, djeco moja, ne čekajte, recite ne grijehu, a vaša srca predajte mome Sinu, jer samo tako ćete moći živjeti Božje milosrđe i s Isusom u vašim srcima krenuti putem spasenja." Na četvrtu nedjelju došašća, 23. prosinca, uz uobičajeni molitveno liturgijski program i ispovijed, održat će se i prigodni Božićni koncert u dvorani Majčina sela, u 20 sati, a organiziraju ga Župni ured Međugorje, Majčino selo i Mjesne zajednice Bijakovići i Međugorje. Od ponedjeljka 3. prosinca u Međugorju se slave svete Mise zornice u 6 sati kojima se župljani pripravljaju za svetkovinu Božića, rođenja Isusova. Devetnica započinje u subotu 15. prosinca krunicom uz Podrbrdo u 14 sati - svakodnevno se moli do 23. prosinca. Večernji molitveno-liturgijski program u crkvi započinje kao i redovito u 17 sati molitvom krunice, u 18 je sv. Misa, a nakon Mise uobičajeni molitveni program. Mogućnost Ispovijedi je svako jutro od 5,30, a u popodnevnim satima od 16 sati. U nedjeljama Došašća Klanjanje Isusu u Presvetom oltarskom sakramentu je nakon Mise za đake u 9,30. Već nekoliko dana članovi Zajednice Cenacolo, ispred međugorske župne crkve sv. Jakova, pripremaju žive jaslice koje će uprizoriti u božićno vrijeme. U ponedjeljak, 10. prosinca u Međugorju je pao i prvi snijeg. Stephane Galbert dolazi iz Martiniquea. Ovo mu je prvi dolazak u Međugorje. Kaže da u Martiniqueu dosta ljudi zna za Međugorje, jer je proteklih godina mnogo njih ovdje hodočastilo i oni su svjedočili ono što su doživjeli. Njihova poruka je da bi na ovo mjesto trebao doći svaki kršćanin. ''Ja sam se uvijek osjećao blizu Gospi, jer sam od svoje osme godine imao mali Gospin kip i nekako sam povezan s njom. Tako da kad mi je moja majka pričala o Međugorju i pozvala me da dođem ovdje, odmah sam prihvatio i shvatio sam da je ovo Gospin dom. Obično vidimo Mariju prikazanu kako stoji raširenih ruka, zato jer je ona u poslanju, misiji, zove nas k sebi.'' - kazao je Stephane. U subotu 8. prosinca svetkovina je Bezgrešnog začeća Blažene Djevice Marije. Sv. mise na hrvatskome jeziku u župnoj crkvi u Međugorju su u 6 (sv. misa zornica), 8, 11 i 18 sati. Mise na drugim jezicima kao nedjeljom. Večernji molitveni program počinje Krunicom u 17 sati, slijedi svečana sveta Misa. Blagoslov nabožnih predmeta, Molitva za zdravlje duše i tijela, te Slavna otajstva Krunice su nakon Mise. Od 21 do 22 sata je Klanjanje Isusu u Presvetomu Oltarskom Sakramentu. U nedjelju, 9. prosinca 2012. godine, u župnoj crkvi svetoga Jakova u Međugorju održat će se susret velikih župnih zborova iz Hercegovine. Svi zborovi će zajedno pjevati za vrijeme sv. Mise u 18 sati. A potom će zborovi pojedinačno nastupiti i izvesti po dvije skladbe. Misu i nastupe zborova prenosit će izravno i radiopostaja MIR Međugorje. Anton Guanaratnam je hodočasnik iz Kanade. Za Međugorje je čuo prije 6 godina. Kaže kako je njegova prijateljica imala tumor na mozgu i htio joj je nekako reći da Bog postoji. ''Ona nije bila krštena pa sam joj na neki racionalan način htio objasniti da Bog postoji. Onda sam saznao za Međugorje. I sam se počeo vraćati svojoj vjeri. Nakon što sam čuo poruke zavolio sam Blaženu Djevicu Mariju i Boga. Ovdje dolazim već 6 godina i želim širiti Gospine poruke svijetu. Gospa je učinila toliko toga za mene. Osjetio sam veliki mir ovdje na Brdu Ukazanja. Na misama mi se posebno dopadaju propovijedi. Osim toga, klanjanje mi je posebno jer se tako mnogo ljudi klanja Isusu, a sve je nekako mirno i zato je posebno'' - kazao je hodočasnik iz Kanade. U nedjelju 2. prosinca počinje Došašće - vrijeme priprave za Božić. Od ponedjeljka, 3.prosinca, u župi Međugorje započinju svete mise zornice Rođenju Isusovu. Svaki dan, osim nedjelje, bit će u župnoj crkvi sveta Misa zornica u 6 sati, koju će prenositi i Radiopostaja Mir Međugorje. Raspored molitveno-liturgijskoga programa ostaje isti za hrvatske i inozemne hodočasnike. Iz župnog ureda pozivaju na intenzivniju obiteljsku molitvu, sudjelovanje na molitvenom programu u crkvi i molitve na brdima. Kroz četiri nedjelje Došašća u 10.30 bit će klanjanje Isusu u Presvetome Oltarskom Sakramentu. U Međugorju su, u ovome uobičajeno mirnijem vremenu, hodočasnici iz Italije, Rumunjske, SAD-a, Slovačke, Ukrajine, Njemačke, Hrvatske.
