Miljenko Strko, the Provincial of Herzegovina Franciscan Province was the main celebrant of the Holy Mass at 7 p.m., along with 333 priests concelebrating. (fotos) A friend of the youth, Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, Archbishop of Vienna, sent a message at the beginning of the Youth Festival 2015. The Cardinal sent this message from California, where he is at the moment participating in one big conference. The message is as follows: Number of Holy Communions: 195 500 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 6117 (197 per day) The Youth Festival is going to be held this year from July 31 to August 6, 2015. The theme of this prayer meeting is “Peace be with you!” The programme will be made of catechesis, testimonies, liturgy celebrations, prayers and adoration, and as every year, there will be some surprises as well. The programme of the 26th International Youth Festival We are approaching the 26th Youth Festival that will be held in Medjugorje from July 31 to August 6, 2015. One of the major parts of this event is the International Choir conducted by prof. Damir Bunoza for the last six years, and the members are having the intensive rehersals in this period. Prof. Bunoza said it was a great pleasure to have 100 members from 30 different countries: On Friday, July 31, the 26th Youth Festival will begin with the evening Holy Mass with the theme “Peace be with you”. Great numbers of the youth from all over the world are expected and the final preparations are coming to their end. The International Choir and Orchestra is ready, as well as volunteers of the Franciscan Youth, interpreters, technical team, radio station Mir Medjugorje that will broadcast the event. Two pilgrims from Germany, Lukas Lorenz and Roland Kiechle arrived by bicycles to Medjugorje two days before the beginning of the Youth Festival. They began their journey in the mid July and they travelled for 1820 km all the way from Munich. They told us they were proud of what they did and very grateful to the Queen of Peace for all of the graces they received and for the opportunity to participate in the Youth Festival: (photos) The final preparations for the 26th Youth Festival are taking place in the last few days. This International Festival was initiated by late Fr. Slavko Barbaric in 1990, when about hundred young people and two guitarists gathered in the green tent at the back of the church. The number of participants was increasing each year, and this event became the biggest of all those taking place in Medjugorje. The idea about the prayer encounter of youth was born in the heart of one young pilgrim from England who shared this with late Fr. Slavko Barbaric in the end of the Marian Year in 1988. Slavko supported this idea and began organisation of the Youth Festival that he led and conducted until his death in 2000. After many conversations and lots of good will, the first Festival was successfully held with the Herzegovinian Franciscans as the main lecturers. On Saturday, July 18, a group of six pilgrims: Nikola Bodružić, Vigor Grego, Patrik Horvat, Karlo Jandrijević, Matija Ricov and Danijel Stanić began their journey towards Medjugorje. Their 15 - days long journey began and they decided to walk 30-35 km each day. They called their pilgrimage„Labora et ambulans ora“ meaning „Work and pray walking“, similar to motto of St. Benedict, as they decided to walk, pray and praise God on their trip. Medjugorje parish celebrated the feast of St. James, its patron saint this Saturday, July 25, 2015. The Holy Masses in Croatian language were celebrated at 7, 8 a.m. and at 7 p.m., while the central Holy Mass was celebrated at 11 a.m. in the Garden opposite to the old parish church. The main celebrant was Fr. Josip Serdjo Cavar, parishioner of Medjugorje, who is now serving in Posusje. (photos) Vince Owen from England u came to Medjugorje for a pilgrimage with his family. He came here for the first time in 1988, and he gladly accepted to share his experience as well as to tell us more about the project called "Krizevac/Cross Mountain". This is what he told us: "We work in Malawi on a project Cross Mountain. The connection of Malawi, England and Cross Mountain is quite interesting as it unites few different stories. Many experiences of various pilgrims remain hidden from the public, but we also very often have chance to talk to those who do not hesitate to speak publicly about the special graces given to them at Gospa' intercession. Here we bring story of Gabrielle Colins from Ireland. She came to Medjugorje for the first time just because of her sister: „I was raised and grew as Catholic, but eventually with years, I stopped going to the church.

U Međugorju su ovih dana brojni hodočasnici iz cijeloga svijeta, a osobito mladež. Došli su kako bi na poseban način, u molitvi dočekali Novu godinu. Među njima su i 3 autobusa hodočasnika iz Bratislave, glavnog grada Slovačke. Među tim hodočasnicima je i Kamila Mišikova. Po zanimanju je učiteljica. U Međugorju je u četvrtak 29. prosinca predstavljena knjiga „Živo kamenje iz Međugorja“. Autor je prof. umjetnosti Hubert Theler iz Švicarske. Fotografije u knjizi su popraćene izabranim Gospinim porukama, a ovo je djelo priređeno na hrvatskom, talijanskom, engleskom, njemačkom, francuskom i španjolskom jeziku. (slike) U Međugorju se očekuje mnogo hodočasnika, uglavnom mladih, iz cijeloga svijeta za molitveni doček Nove Godine (2017). Molitveni program počinje molitvom krunice u 17 sati. Sveta misa zahvalnica za 2016. godinu je u 18 sati, a nakon svete mise zajednica "Cenacolo" uprizoruje žive jaslice na prostoru ispred crkve sv. Jakova. U četvrtak 29. prosinca u 20 sati, tj. nakon večernje svete mise, u dvorani sv. Ivana Pavla II. u Međugorju bit će predstavljena veoma neobična, ali itekako zanimljiva knjiga „Živo kamenje iz Međugorja“. Autor knjige je profesor umjetnosti g. Hubert Theler iz Švicarske. Već je predstavljena u Švicarskoj, pobudivši zanimanje za zbivanja u Međugorju. U Međugorju je i ove godine radosno dočekan Božić. 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)
