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.

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)

Za 32. obljetnicu Gospinih ukazanja u Međugorje su mnogi hodočasnici došli pješice. Među njima je i skupina od 29 hodočasnika iz Rame čiji je hod do Međugorja trajao tri dana. Neki iz ove skupine redovito dolaze na zavjet Gospi pa im je ovo, rekli su nam, dvadeset i neko hodočašće. Svi su došli sa svojim osobnim problemima, zavjetima i željama kako bi svojom poniznom i ustrajnom molitvom zahvalili Gospi na darovima i bili sudionicima proslave obljetnice. „Što smo bili bliže Međugorju osjećali smo veću snagu i mir“ - kazali su nam hodočasnici iz Rame. Obljetnica Gospinih ukazanja u Međugorju svečano je obilježena u utorak, 25. lipnja 2013. Uz hodočasnike iz Hrvatske i Bosne i Hercegovine, u Međugorju su u većim organiziranim skupinama boravili hodočasnici iz: Engleske, SAD-a, Irske, Kanade, Mađarske, Švicarske, Austrije, Njemačke, Koreje, Francuske, Poljske, Italije, Ukrajine, Japana, Slovačke, Češke, Belgije, Portugala, Brazila, Slovenije i Rumunjske. (slike) Vidjelica Ivanka Ivanković Elez imala je redovito godišnje ukazanje 25. lipnja 2013. 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 2 minute, Ivanka je imala u svojoj obiteljskoj kući. Ukazanju je bila nazočna samo Ivankina obitelj. Nakon ukazanja vidjelica Ivanka je rekla: Gospa nije dala poruku. Blagoslovila nas je svojim majčinskim blagoslovom. Marinko Šušak, Širokobriježanin koji živi u Zagrebu i njegov prijatelj Dragutin Bosak iz Krapine, u nedjelju 9.lipnja nakon misnog slavlja u zagrebačkoj katedrali i blagoslova na grobu blaženog Alojzija Stepinca krenuli su na zavjetno hodočašće Majci Božjoj u Međugorje. Geslo njihova hodočašća bile su riječi: ‘’U križu je spas!’’. Noseći veliki križ i hrvatski barjak u Međugorje su stigli na uočnicu Gospinih ukazanja, 24.lipnja,. Dva prijatelja, Hercegovac i Zagorac, ispunili su svoje zavjetno hodočašće moleći krunicu za hrvatske uznike u Hagu, zaboravljene i obespravljene branitelje HV-a i HVO-a, te za svoje obitelji. Hodočasnički križ su blagoslovili prije mjesec dana na stratištu, jami u kojoj su spaljeni i pobijeni i spaljeni hercegovački franjevci u Širokom Brijegu. Po okončanju hodočašća u Međugorje križ će predati Viceposlutaluri mučenika na trajno čuvanje i spomen ovog križnog puta za Domovinu i hrvatski narod. U ponedjeljak, 24. lipnja 2013., tisuće hodočasnika sudjelovalo je na 22. Hodnji mira Humac – Međugorje. Nakon pozdravnoga govora hodočasnike je na vanjskom oltaru crkve sv Ante na Humcu križem blagoslovio humački gvardijan fra Velimir Mandić. Uz molitvu i pjesmu u čast Kraljice Mira sudionici su pred međugorsku župnu crkvu sv. Jakova stigli oko 10 sati, gdje ih je dočekao fra Danko Perutina. Tom su prigodom sudionici Hodnje mira i drugi nazočni vjernici sudjelovali u pobožnosti klanjanja Isusu u Presvetom Oltarskom Sakramentu i primili blagoslov s Presvetim. Hodnju mira je 1992. pokrenuo Hubert Liebherr, organizator hodočašća iz Njemačke. Zgrožen ratom na ovim prostorima, s nekolicinom prijatelja Međugorja iz inozemstva pješice su hodočastli od Humca do Međgorja jer su povjerovali Gospinim riječima da se krunicom i ratovi mogu zaustaviti. Međugorje će u utorak, 25. lipnja 2013. proslaviti 32. obljetnicu Gospinih ukazanja. Na uočnicu - blagdan sv.

Svaki od hodočasnika ima svoju povijest vezanu uz Međugorje. Primjerice, Judy Paterson dolazi iz Južne Afrike i ovo joj je deseto hodočašće Kraljici Mira. Judy nam je, između ostaloga, posvjedočila: „Došla sam se zahvaliti. Imala sam mnoga iskustava. Prije tri godine ovdje sam doživjela ozdravljenje. Bila sam jako bolesna, liječnici su mi bili prognozirali još tri tjedna života. Skupila sam snagu, došla sam i molila, a kad sam se vratila doma ja sam ozdravila. Trebalo mi je mnogo vremena, ali sam ozdravila. Došla sam zahvaliti Gospi jer je moje ozdravljenje došlo preko našega Gospodina i Gospe. Znam da su mi oni dali zdravlje.“ Za 32. obljetnicu Gospinih ukazanja u Međugorju međugorski župljani i hodočasnici pripravljat će se devetnicom koja počinje u subotu, 15. lipnja 2013.

Vida i Jurja u Mađarevu u varaždinskoj biskupiji boravili su 1. i 2. lipnja u Međugorju. Pjesmom i sviranjem uveličali su subotnju večernju svetu Misu, a u nedjelju su hodočastili na međugorska brda. 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. Duhovna glazbena skupina Apostoli mira osnovana je jubilarne 2000. godine i otada animiraju molitveni život mladih u svojoj župi ali i drugim mjestima. Nastupili su na brojnim molitvenim susretima.
