Sana Nassar from Lebanon is the founder of the non-profitable organisation "Friends of Mary, the Queen of Peace". Sana said that the fruits of Medjugorje are very impressive in Lebanon: „I know it is Gospa's wish for this to be the same all over the world. She would like her plan to be realised in the whole world, and that is for all of the people to get to know her Son Jesus, to start loving Him and to decide for Heaven.

Tereza and Miroslav Ljubic from Kastel Luksic came and two of them fostered two children after being in a marriage without their own children. They spoke about their testimony of faith and relying on Jesus and the help of God in the programme of radio Medjugorje. Miroslav said that he came here for the first time ten years ago: " I saw that people were coming here for one day, but I feel one cannot have experience of Medjugorje in one day only, one needs to stay here longer. You can see how people find peace here, they find prayer, when so many people are praying Rosary, miracles need to happen. Medjugorje is a place of prayer, of special relationship towards Our Lady, while the biggest grace is in confessionals." Tereza said that they as family are everyday praying Rosary: On Thursday, January 21, we will commemorate the fourteenth anniversary of death of former Medjugorje parish priest and the founder of religious – humanitarian organization “Medjugorje – Mir”, Fr. Leonard Orec (born in Posuski Gradac, 1928 – died in Zagreb, 2002). Leonard served in Medjugorje from 1988 to 1991, in that period he served as a parish priest for more than one year. During those three years, he indeed left a permanent mark as a wise and experienced priest, and fervour promoter of Our Lady’s messages of peace and reconciliation. In 1992, he established humanitarian association “Medjugorje – Mir”, that is still active. Since 1997, Fr. Leonard was active in the General Curia of the Franciscan Order in Split, until 2001, when he got seriously ill. This year we are remembering 47 years since the church of St. James was built and solemnly blessed. After the parish was founded in 1892, the first parish church, very spacious and beautiful for the circumstances back then, was soon completed in 1897. These first days of January are a period that is a bit more quiet, with few smaller groups from Korea, the United States, Italy and Germany. It was not so long ago that a young girl from Bavaria, Maria, arrived to Medjugorje. This is her fifth visit and this is what she told us: The Feast of Epiphany was solemnly celebrated on Wednesday, January 6, 2016. Along with the parishioners, there were pilgrims from Korea, Soain, Italy, France and the United States. Four Holy Masses in Croatian language were celebrated, as well as one in Italian, French, English and Korean language. Medjugorje, 01.

Vjernička zajednica se pripremala za Isusovo Rođenje svetim misama zornicama, večernjim svetim misama, moljenjem krunice i kroz devet dana molitvom krunice na Podbrdu. Ovo mjesto molitve i pomirenja, kako su ga odavno prozvali mnogi hodočasnici s raznih strana svijeta, još se jednom potvrdilo kao ispovjedaonica svijeta: (foto) Prvo uprizorenje živih jaslica zajednice Cenacolo bilo je na Badnju večer, nakon svete mise u 18 sati, ispred crkve sv. Jakova u Međugorju, za župljane i hodočasnike. U predstavu su se i ove godine uključili mladi iz župe Međugorje. (slike) 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 2017. GODINA! Neka vam ovaj Božić bude dan radosti i mira. Neka Vas Isus pohodi u vašim obiteljima i rodi se u skrovitosti vašega srca! (slike) Čestitka - fra Marinko Šakota, župnik 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 20 minuta i trajalo je 10 minuta. Jakov je, nakon toga, prenio poruku: U četvrtak, 22. prosinca na prostoru stare župne crkve završeni su susreti međugorskih župljana u došašću. Domaćini ovog, petog po redu susreta, bili su mještani Međugorja, a proteklih nedjelja župljani iz Bijakovića, Šurmanaca, Vionice i Miletine. (slike) U Međugorju su u predbožićnom tjednu boravili hodočasnici iz Italije, SAD-a, Španjolske, Meksika, Gvatemale, Libanona, Francuske, Italije, Brazila i Ukrajine. Govoreći o Božiću u Međugorju, susretima župljana u došašću, te duhovno-molitvenoj pripravi za Božić, župnik fra Marinko Šakota je u programu Radiopostaje „Mir“ Međugorje kazao: Tijekom godine u Međugorju se, uz redovite seminare posta i molitve, održavaju i različiti međunarodni seminari. Neki od njih imaju dugogodišnju tradiciju, a neki su pokrenuti tek prije nekoliko godina. Ti su seminari namijenjeni svećenicima, laicima, voditeljima centara mira, bračnim parovima, liječnicima, medicinskom osoblju, a 2016. održan je u Međugorju i Prvi međunarodni seminar za život (PRO LIFE). Već godinama zajednica Cenacolo ispred župne crkve uprizoruje žive jaslice za sve župljane i hodočasnike koji u božićnim danima hodočaste u Međugorje. Scenografiju čine štalica, svratište, građani Betlehema, domaće životinje, uvjerljivi kostimi i glumci amateri koji utjelovljuju Svetu obitelj, mudrace s Istoka i pastire. Na 4. nedjelju došašća, 18. prosinca, večernji susret na prostoru stare župne crkve u Međugorju pripremili su mještani Bijakovića. Pjesmom je u ovu večer uveo veliki župni zbor „Kraljice Mira“ pod vodstvom s. Irene Azinović. Župnik fra Marinko Šakota je na adventskome vijencu upalio 4. svijeću, koja simbolizira ljubav. (slike) U subotu 24. prosinca je Badnji dan. Preporučen je post i nemrs. Ujutro se slavi posljednja ovogodišnja misa zornica u crkvi sv. Jakova. Poslijepodne neće biti molitve krunice na Podbrdu, niti svete mise u 13 sati. Večernji molitveni program u župnoj crkvi započinje krunicom u 17 sati, a božićna misa bdijenja je u 18 sati. Na ovoj prvoj božićnoj euharistiji sudjeluju svi svećenici, te je ispovijedanje toga popodneva od 16 do 17:30 sati. Krunicom na Podbrdu, koju je u četvrtak 15. prosinca predmolio fra Josip Marija Katalinić, u Međugorju je počela devetnica rođenju Isusovu. Osim molitvom krunice, koja se u danima do 23. prosinca svakodnevno u 14 sati moli na Podbrdu, hodočasnici se, župljani i vjernici iz okolnih župa za Božić pripravljaju sudjelujući na večernjem molitvenom programu, te misama zornicama, koje u župnoj crkvi sv. Jakova predslave međugorski franjevci. (slike)
