Gathering and accommodation of pilgrims in homes of the parishioners shall take place on Thursday, June 15. What makes this pilgrimage more unique, it is the fact that parishioners of Medjugorje parish offer free accommodation to the participants. The Organisation Board of the Pilgrimage, along with the representatives of the local communities Medjugorje and Bijakovici, has made some decisions last year and those shall remain in force also this year, as follows: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (April 10- 12, 2017): Holy Masses in Croatian language are according to the regular schedule at 7.30 a.m. and at 6 p.m. Confessions shall take place before the morning Mass and in the afternoon from 4.30 p.m. Palm Sunday or the Sunday of the Passion of Our Lord traditionally is an introduction to Holy Week, as a preparation for Easter, the greatest Christian feast. As in the previous years, the liturgy of Palm Sunday began at the ruins of the old parish church. The procession began after the Gospel about the entrance of Our Lord into Jerusalem was read and the blessing of palm and olive branches followed. (photos) The ambulance of the Order of Malta began with their activities in a new season in Medjugorje on this Palm Sunday. Their hours for urgent medicine are from 9 a.m. to 2.30 p.m. and from 3.30 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. They will continue to work until October 31, 2017. On Wednesday, April 5, 2017, at 4 pm, an hour-long press conference of the Special Envoy of the Holy See for Medjugorje, Dr. Henryk Hoser, was held in the Hall of St. John Paul II. Even though there were about fifty journalists registered, the interest for this event was much greater. (photos) The long tradition of Mostar Duvno Diocese says that the whole week from the 5th Sunday of the Lent, until the Palm Sunday is offered for the prayer to prevent curses and blasphemous language in our people. All parishioners and pilgrims are invited to offer their prayer intentions, especially the Way of the Cross on Friday and to present those to the Lord as the atonement for all the pain He receives through slandering and blasphemous language. Highly respected and dear Archbishop Henryk Hoser! My words are too small to express how I feel ever since February 11, 2017, Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, when our dear Holy Father Francis appointed you as his personal Envoy for Medjugorje. Mons. Henryk Hoser was born on November, 27, 1942 in Warsaw. He is a member of the Society of the Catholic Apostolate (Pallottines) and at the moment he is Bishop of Warsaw Praga. He studied medicine in his youth and worked as a doctor and assistant lecturer at the Academy of Medicine. Dear brothers and sisters, I will speak in French, excuse me, for I have not yet learned the beautiful Croatian language! We have gathered around the altar on the 5th Sunday of Lent. We have two more weeks from the Easter, and in a week time, it will be Palm Sunday, and in two weeks we are going to celebrate, at the end of Holy Week, the greatest Christian Feast Day - the Feast of the Resurrection.

U Međugorju se održava duhovna obnova za župljane ove župe. U srijedu (13. ožujka) duhovnu obnovu predvodio je fra Zvonko Benković, a dan poslije apostolski vizitator za župu Međugorje nadbiskup Henryk Hoser, koji je sinoć slavio i svetu misu u crkvi sv. Jakova u Međugorju. Govorio je na francuskom jer kako je kazao njegovo ''poznavanje hrvatskog jezika još nije dostatno''. ''Francusku su nekad nazivali prvom kćeri Crkve, ali Hrvatska i Hercegovina su isto tako prva kćer Crkve. To je bila rimska provincija iz koje su proistekli i crkveni oci kao što je sveti Jeronim. Vi imate bogatstvo i blago koje se ne zna uvijek dobro živjeti. To je blago koje je dio vašeg identiteta. Hrvatski identitet je, između ostaloga, kršćanska vjera i jaka vezanost za obiteljski život. Svjedoci smo kako se u svijetu degradira i raspada obiteljski život. Kultura obiteljskog života koju vi još uvijek imate je cjelovita. U Međugorju i okolici vidim obitelji koje su još uvijek cjelovite. Ne obitelji od oca, majke i jednog djeteta, nego obitelji od nekoliko naraštaja. Ako to izgubite, izgubit ćete svoje nacionalno jedinstvo i svoju vezanost uz Crkvu. Obitelj – to je nešto što je strogo i čvrsto vezano uz Crkvu. Obitelj je starija od Crkve. Stvorio ju je Bog Stvoritelj još u zemaljskom raju. Obitelj nazivamo i Crkva u malom'', kazao je mons. Hoser koji je govorio i o zadaći i poslanju obitelji u Crkvi te odgajanju djece u obitelji uz molitvu koja ''mora biti prisutna u životu''. ''Obitelj je škola zajedničkog života. Obitelj je zajednica koja vjeruje i evangelizira. Ne samo unutar sebe nego i prema vani. Obitelj je kao zajednica u neprestanom razgovoru s Bogom i na koncu to je zajednica koja je u službi čovjeka. Ne bavi se samo svojim problemima i uključena je u razne karitativne djelatnosti. Proročka uloga i poslanje obitelji je, ne samo naviještati, nego tumačiti znakove vremena u svjetlu Evanđelja. Roditelji sudjeluju u svećeničkom poslanju Isusa Krista. Oni zajedno sa svima koji stanuju pod istim krovom trebaju slaviti vjeru, između ostalog, i putem zajedničke obiteljske molitve. Kristova uloga je i kraljevanje – funkcija upravljanja. Tako da bračni par ima Kristovu funkciju upravljanja obiteljskom zajednicom. Želio bih čestitati svim bračnim parovima koji su ovdje, jer oni imaju veliko dostojanstvo. Ivan Pavao II. govorio je da je dostojanstvo mjera čovjekove vrijednosti. Veliko dostojanstvo – velika vrijednost, malo dostojanstvo – mala vrijednost. Čestitam vam što ste nasljednici takve obiteljske tradicije i tog hrvatskog i hercegovačkog identiteta'', kazao je mons. Hoser, a međugorski župnik fra Marinko Šakota zahvalio je nadbiskupu Hoseru, i dodao kako je ''obitelj najljepši prostor za život''. Danas je duhovna obnova u crkvi sv. Jakova u Međugorju, a počinje molitvom Krunice u 17 sati, Sveta misa je u 18, a potom Put križa. U fotogaleriji pogledajte kako je to izgledalo.
