The 12th International Seminar for Married Couples that gathered more than 250 participants from eight different languages was held in Medjugorje from 21st to 24th September 2011. The theme of seminar was „Marriage – in faith and with faith“, with prof. Ljilja Vokic as the main lecturer while Fr. Miljenko Steko was the coordinator of the seminar. The programme consisted of morning and afernoon lectures, continued with the evening prayer programme in the church of St. James and there were morning prayers on Cross Mountain and Apparition Hill as well. The seminar finished on Saturday with Holy Mass at 11 a.m. and Fr. Marinko Sakota was the main celebrant. Among various participants we met those who came all the way from Alaska, the United States. Ralph and Edith came to Medjugorje for the first time in 2000. Ever since that time they started following all of the events from Medjugorje through the official web site of the shrine. That is how they found out about this retreat for married couples and decided to come with another couple. This is what they said for radio station „Mir“ Medjugorje: „We are happy to be here, this is our first time to attend this retreat, we indeed feel content and welcomed from the moment we first arrived to Medjugorje. We were immediately able to feel that something special takes place here.“ (photos) The twelfth international seminar for married couples will be held in Medjugorje from the 21 to 24 September 2011 The seminar topic is: “Marriage – in faith and with faith” On Sunday, September 18, 2011, three young Franciscan seminarians, members of the Franciscan Province of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary from Mostar, made their Solemn Vows during the evening Holy Mass at the altar outside parish church of St. James. Josip Serdo Cavar and Fr. Mario Ostojic are from Medjugorje parish while Fr. Stanko Cosic is from parish of the Most Holy Trinity from Buhovo. After several years of preparation and spiritual retreat that lasted for one month, their vows were made to Dr. Fr. Ivan Sesar, Provincial and the main celebrant at this solemn Holy Mass. Vjekoslav Milicevic was in charge of the liturgical part of Holy Mass, while young Franciscans of Herzegovina Franciscan Province sang. Petar Vlasic, parish priest of Medjugorje parish greeted all those present and he congratulated personally these young priests as well as their parents. The group of ninety pilgrims of different age walked from Lithuania to Medjugorje. They started their journey on June 24, 2011 and there were 29 pilgrims who started their journey and more were joining along the way as well. They all walked 1500 miles on their way to Medjugorje and arrived on September 11, 2011, all healthy and alive, just in time to climb the Cross Mountain for the Feast of Exaltation of the Holy Cross. They carried huge, heavy wooden cross that they brought in their hands from Lithuania to the top of Cross Mountain. Robert Jolic, the main celebrant of the Holy Mass on Cross Mountain, greeted this group in a special way and thanked them for their extraordinary sacrifice and great act of love and devotion. This group walked from Lithuania to Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In accordance with that, the number of priests who celebrated Holy Masses in Medjugore was more than seven thousand – 7,280, in average 234 daily. The river of pilgrims continues in the first days of September as well. According to the record of Information Office there are bigger groups of pilgrims from Poland, Belgium, Slovakia, Lebanon, Spain, Argentina, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Ireland, the United States and England. We met Fr. Frank Gindro from Denmark and asked him to share his experience with us. He said that he feels special presence of Our Lady here, “It is a feeling I did not have for a long time. I pray for people in my country that have lost hope in their lives. I will come back to Medjugorje!” Number of Holy Communions: 406.300 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 7280 (234 per day) The famous Italian water polo player, 24 years old Alex Giorgetti came to Medjugorje. He comes from Savona in Italy, and he is offense player of Pro Recco, as well as the member of men’s Italy National Water Polo Team. They were the champions at the World Championship this year. Young Alex had meeting first with Fr. Miljenko Šteko, the Head of the Information Office in Medjugorje and gave him the water polo ball signed by all of the players of Italian team. He later shared his life experience with journalist of Radio Station “Mir” Medjugorje. At the end of August Medjugorje is packed with pilgrims from all over the world. The Information Office registered numerous groups from: Holy Land, Korea, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, France, Italy, England, Ireland, the United States, Germany, Austria and of course, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Pat O’Hagan came from California after having heard of Medjugorje many years ago. “I am deeply impressed with enthusiasm and religion of all of the people who are coming here and I really like this place. I have seen that faith is really strong, that is what I had expected.” Our journalists met Fr. Anselmo Umoren, member of community of missionaries of Nigeria. He expressed his joy for being here and added: „This place is enabling us to pray, to hope and do penance.“ Lisa came from South Africa, and this is her third time in Medjugorje. She was 15 when she heard about the apparitions for the first time. „Medjugorje enriched my faith and trust in God, here, one can really feel higher power that moves this all. There is not much to say, you simply need to be here to feel and experience all of this. Young people are converting, the ones who are no longer on the right way are returning.“ Mihovel is a missionary. He has been in Poland ever since the last year and he has been coming to Medjugorje since 1986. „I confessed for seven hours the other day. I came to confess, but I spent all day confessing. I think that each experience is special and unique in Medjugorje, especially in people and their testimonies.“ Each of these testimonies is a new outpoor of grace that has been given to the whole world through Medjugorje for the last thirty years. (photos) The feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was celebrated on Monday, August 15 with thousands of foreign and local pilgrims who arrived to Medjugorje on that day.

Danko Perutina, leader of the Festival, was the main celebrant. During the Farewell in song and prayer, that took place evening before, parish priest Fr. Petar Vlasic, invited all of the youth for the next Festival that will take place in August 2012. Dozens of thousands of young people from more than 60 countries and from all of the five continents gathered in Medjugorje during the first evening.

U mnoštvu hodočasnika koji ovih dana borave u Međugorju, novinari radiopostaje Mir Međugorje susreli su i skupinu iz Grčke. Dovela ih je Chiara Perfetti iz Atene. Svi su, osim Chiare, pravoslavni vjernici. Chiara je u listopadu prošle godine prvi put u Međugorje došla s mužem i dvoje prijatelja. Kaže da je imala san. Za nekoliko dana nešto je provjeravala na internetu, i vidjela je ono što je vidjela u snu, međugorski vanjski oltar s bijelim Gospinim kipom. U Međugorju u ovom uskrsnom vremenu borave mnogi hodočasnici. Ured informacija bilježi veće i manje skupine iz: Engleske, Rumunjske, Francuske, Slovačke, Albanije, Portugala, Njemačke, Italije, Austrije, Mađarske, Libanona, SAD-a, Irske, Portugala, Brazila, Poljske, Meksika, Kanade, Slovenije, Koreje, Belgije, Nizozemske, Španjolske, Ukrajine, Hrvatske te Bosne i Hercegovine. Susreli smo Mariu Peoples, iz Sjeverne Irske. Prvi put je došla u Međugorje 1985. Od 1986. dovodi skupine u Međugorje. I ove se godine za Uskrs u Međugorju okupio veliki broj hodočasnika, koji su u zajedništvu sa župljanima sudjelovali u liturgiji Vazmenoga trodnevlja. Tijekom ovih dana u Međugorju su boravili hodočasnici iz: Koreje, Brazila, Španjolske, Francuske, Italije, Njemačke, Portugala, Ukrajine, Slovačke, Libanona, Japana, SAD-a, Irske, Austrije i Rumunjske. (slike) "Mir vama! Kao što je mene poslao Otac, tako i ja šaljem vas." (Evanđelje po Ivanu 20,21) Svim župljanima, hodočasnicima, prijateljima, dobročiniteljima i svim ljudima dobre volje Sretan i blagoslovljen Uskrs! Župnik i međugorski fratri (slike) Uskrsna cestitka 2012 - Fra Petar Vlasic Veliki Četvrtak, 5. travnja - Ovaj dan, u kojem se Crkva spominje ustanovljenja euharistije i svećeništva, dopušteno je slaviti samo Misu posvete ulja i Misu večere Gospodnje. Misu posvete ulja u Katoličkoj Crkvi slavi samo biskup sa svećenicima u Zbornoj crkvi, odnosno Katedrali. U Međugorju, dakle, toga prijepodneva se ne ispovijeda i nema sv. Misa. Molitva Krunice u međugorskoj župnoj crkvi počinje u 17 sati, a u 18 je svečana sveta Misa Večere Gospodnje. Nakon misnoga slavlja vjernici će imati prigodu za klanjanje i tihu molitvu uz Presveti Sakrament sve do pola noći. Prigoda sa sakrament Ispovijedi je od 16 sati do početka misnoga slavlja. Četrdesetak volontera, članova, simpatizera riječkog prihvatilišta za beskućnike ''Ruže sv. Franje'' boravili su u Međugorju od 31. ožujka do 2.travnja 2012., kako bi zahvalili Kraljici mira za pet godina rada prihvatilišta. Siniša Pucić jedan od volontera u spomenutom prihvatilištu i glavni urednik časopisa ''Ulične svjetiljke'' govorio je za program radiopostaje Mir Međugorje o hodočašću te o prihvatilištu. Cilj rada prihvatilišta je ne samo pružiti najpotrebnijima prenoćište, nego ih prije svega osposobiti za ponovnu integraciju u društvo, ovisno o psihofizičkim i drugim sposobnostima korisnika, provodeći s njima program radne terapije i rehabilitacije. ''Hodočašće je dobra prilika onima koji nam se prvi put pridruže upoznati ih dobro s našim djelovanjem, a Međugorje je uvijek svima draga lokacija za hodočašće''- kazao je Siniša. U Međugorju je 31. ožujka održana duhovna obnova časnih sestara franjevki iz Hrvatske i BiH koje rade u zdravstvenim ili socijalnim ustanovama na kojoj je sudjelovalo 40-ak sestara. Tema je bila: ''Patnja, otajstveni Božji govor'', a duhovnu obnovu je predvodio dr. fra Miljenko Šteko. Jedna od sudionica obnove s. Andrea Nazlić, školska sestra franjevka koja radi u splitskoj bolnici je kazala: ''Djelujemo s ljudima koji pate, zato smo izabrali ovu temu. Vrijeme je da se saberemo i o tome razmišljamo. Ovo mjesto nas posebno vrati k sebi''. Broj podijeljenih sv. pričesti: 92.300 Broj svećenika koncelebranata: 1739 (56 dnevno) Davni običaj u mostarsko duvanjskoj biskupiji je da se čitav tjedan od Glušnice, tj. 5.korizmene nedjelje do Cvjetnice, posveti molitvi protiv psovke u našem narodu. Svi župljani i hodočasnici u Međugorju pozvani su da kroz ovaj tjedan sve svoje molitvene nakane, osobito Križni put u petak, prikažu Bogu kao zadovoljštinu za uvrede koje mu se psovkom nanose. Na Cvjetnicu ili Nedjelju Muke Gospodnje započinje Veliki tjedan, vrhunac priprave za svetkovinu Uskrsnuća Gospodinova. U Međugorju liturgija Cvjetnice 1. travnja započinje na temeljima stare župne crkve u 10,30. Nakon toga u procesiji ide se u župnu crkvu sv. Jakova gdje će se slaviti sv. Misa Muke Gospodnje. Misna slavlja u crkvi su i u 7, 8 te 18 sati. Na svim misama bit će blagoslov grančica. Od 14 sati molit će se krunica na Podbrdu. Dan prije Cvjetnice, u subotu 31. ožujka u međugorskoj župnoj crkvi slavit će se u 18 sati sveta Misa za mlade. Međugorska Frama će svojom pjesmom uveličati ovo misno slavlje. U dvodnevni posjet Međugorju, u ponedjeljak 26. ožujka 2012., došao je trener Manchester Cityja, Roberto Mancini sa svojom obitelji. Sudjelovao je na molitveno liturgijskome programu, obišao međugorska molitvena mjesta i razgovarao s međugorskim franjevcima. U informativnome centru Mir Međugorje održao je i konferenciju za novinare na kojoj je govorio o razlozima posjeta Međugorju, te nekim detaljima iz svijeta športa. Na početku je kazao kako je ovaj posjet Međugorju ispunjenje jedne davno donesene odluke. Prvi put je o Međugorju čuo od jednog svećenika iz Genove, prije više od 25 godina. ''Vjerujem da se radi o jednom posebnom mjestu, doista sam sretan'' - kazao je Roberto Mancini. Govoreći o značenju duhovnosti u svakodnevnom životu, te nogometnoj, odnosno trenerskoj karijeri, Mancini je istaknuo kako vjera ima veliko značenje u njegovom životu. Na kraju je naglasio kako planira ponovno doći u Međugorje, jer je ono za njega posebno mjesto. U ponedjeljak 26.ožujka 2012. na prostoru ispred župne crkve sv. Jakova u Međugorju ponovno je izložena velika uskrsna pisanica, dar Koprivničko-križevačke županije Međugorju. Svečanosti je nazočio fra Marinko Šakota, franjevac na službi u Međugorju, gosp. Ivo Jerkić, načelnik općine Čitlluk, Velimir Pleša generalni konzul Republike Hrvatske u Mostaru kao i župan Koprivničko-križevačke županije Darko Koren, te predstavnici Turističke zajednice Koprivničko-križevačke županije. Radi se o projektu izrade velikih uskršnjih jaja oslikanih u maniri naive koji je osmišljen u Turističkoj zajednici Koprivničko-križevačke županije. Pisanica darovana Međugorju dio je projekta „Pisanica od srca“ pokrenutog 2007. godine sa željom da veliko uskrsno jaje diljem hrvatskih, europskih i svjetskih gradova pronese poruku ljubavi, mira i prijateljstva. U prepunoj velikoj dvorani Hrvatskog doma herceg Stjepana Kosače u Mostaru,u srijedu 21. ožujka, predstavljena je knjiga Večernjeg lista "IN HONOREM Alessandro D'Errico Apostolski nuncij u BiH". Večernji list zajedno sa sunakladnicima "Maticom hrvatskom" i "Napretkom" izdao je knjigu u kojoj se opisuje diplomatski život mirnog čovjeka u nemirnoj Bosni i Hercegovini. Izravan prijenos događaja ostvarila je radiopstaja "Mir" Međugorje, a signal su preuzimale i brojne druge radiopostaje i internetski portali. Prihodi od prodaje knjige namijenjeni su djeci u Burundiju, o kojima je skrbila ubijena sestra Lukrecija Mamić. Dan poslije, 22. ožujka, Izdavač, Večernji list, objavio je i intervju s Nuncijem. Jedno od pitanja odnosio se i na Međugorje: "Na početku razgovora pitao sam Vas za najvažnije događaje ovih godina u odnosima između Svete Stolice i Crkve u Bosni i Hercegovini, te ste spomenuli i osnivanje Međunarodne komisije o Međugorju. Znam da je rad te komisije povjerljiv, ali može li se reći da je Međugorje s njezinim osnutkom postalo „crkveni distrikt“? U Međugorju je od 10. do 15. ožujka 2012. boravila prvi put skupina od 64 časne sestre grkokatolkinje iz 14 redova iz Ukrajine. Otac Petro Kobalj je organizator hodočašća, redovito sudjeluje na Seminarima za svećenike u Međugorju.''Sestre su poželjele putovati u Međugorje da svjedoče o ovom mjestu u Ukrajini, jer mnoge od njih rade u kućama milosrđa. Žele naučiti molitve, i žele to donijeti u samostane u kojima djeluju. Vidjele su u Međugorju što znači živa crkva''- kazao je o. Petro. O svom iskustvu Međugorja te o svojim redovima govorile su s. Maria, s. Ljubomira, s. Tadeja i s. Nazarija. Marija pripada Redu sv. Josipa, kazala nam je da riječima ne može opisati ono što je osjetila u Međugorju: ''Mislim da je to čudo što se dogodilo. Prije moga putovanja za Međugorje, imala sam jake bolove u kralježnici. Liječnici su napravili sve što su mogli. Sestra koja živi sa mnom me hrabrila i govorila da će sve biti u redu i da pođemo u Međugorje. Kazala sam da ne mogu ni hodati, a kamoli putovati. Tijekom puta osjećala sam bolove, zahvaljujući Božjoj pomoći došla sam u Međugorje.'' Kaže da je doživjela veliko čudo jer se čak uspela na brdo Križevac. Ljubomira iz Reda službenica Bezgrješne Djevice Marije posvjedočila je da imaju jednu molitvenu skupinu zahvaljujući Međugorju.''Posebno sam zahvalna Kraljici mira, jer sam duboko osjetila njezinu prisutnost, vratila mi je mir u srce'' - dodala je s. Ljubomira. Vidjelica Mirjana Dragićević-Soldo imala je svakodnevna ukazanja od 24. lipnja 1981. do 25. prosinca 1982. Na posljednjem svakodnevnom ukazanju Gospa je, povjerivši joj desetu tajnu, rekla da će joj se ukazivati jedanput godišnje i to 18. ožujka. Tako je i bilo tijekom svih ovih godina. Više tisuća hodočasnika okupilo se na molitvi krunice kod Plavog Križa. Ukazanje je započelo u 14:00 h i trajalo do 14:05 h. Draga djeco! Dolazim među vas jer želim biti vaša majka, vaša zagovornica. Želim biti spona između vas i nebeskog Oca, vaša posrednica. Želim vas uzeti za ruke i koračati s vama u borbi protiv nečistoga duha. Djeco moja, posvetite mi se posve. Ja ću uzeti vaše živote u svoje majčinske ruke i naučit ću ih miru i ljubavi i onda predati svome Sinu. Od vas tražim da molite i postite, jer ćete samo tako znati na pravi način svjedočiti moga Sina po mome majčinskom srcu. Molite za svoje pastire da ujedinjeni u mome Sinu mogu uvijek radosno navješćivati riječ Božju. Hvala vam. Mons. Adriano Langa, biskup biskupije Inhambane u Mozambiku, boravio je ovih dana u Međugorju. To je njegov drugi posjet. Prvi put je došao sredinom devedesetih godina, iz znatiželje, zato je čuo o Međugorju od braće franjevaca iz Hercegovačke franjevačke provincije koji djeluju u Kongu. U opširnom razgovoru za radiopostaju Mir Međugorje, biskup je, između ostaloga, kazao: ''Ovaj drugi dolazak je moja inicijativa jer sam upoznao Međugorje kao mjesto molitve i htio sam doći zbog molitve.'' Za provedeno vrijeme u Međugorju kaže: ''Ovdje sam proživio dane u tišini. Moj dnevni program je bila jutarnja sv. Misa, zatim Križni put i navečer večernji molitveni program. Svima kažem da je Međugorje mjesto koje treba upoznati, jer nas Međugorje poziva na molitvu, Međugorje je mjesto susreta s Bogom'' - poručio je biskup iz Mozambika.
