Mara and Jure Vasilj from Medjugorje celebrated their diamond jubilee on Saturday, December 28, 2013. They were married sixty years ago, and last Saturday at 2 p.m. they renewed their marital vows before parish priest from Medjugorje Fr. Marinko Sakota. Many members of their family, friends and parishioners were present at this solemn event. They confirmed to one another that after sixty years of love and fidelity, they will continue to respect each another in all of the days of their lives, in good and in bad times. They were married on December 28, 1953 in the parish of St. James. Jure Zlopasa, parish priest at that time, gave them sacrament of marriage. They continued their life in Sarajevo and returned to Medjugorje in 1987. Jure is also known because he is in charge of gathering collections in Medjugorje parish office for many years. At the last daily apparition to Jakov Colo on September 12th, 1998, Our Lady told him that henceforth he would have one apparition a year, every December 25th, on Christmas Day. This is also how it was this year. The apparition began at 3:07 pm and lasted 8 minutes. Afterwards Jakov transmitted the message: Little children, today in a special way, Jesus desires to come to dwell in each of your hearts and to share with you your every joy and pain. Therefore, little children, today in a special way, peer into your hearts and ask yourselves if the peace and joy of the birth of Jesus have truly taken hold of your hearts. Little children, do not live in darkness, aspire towards the light and towards God’s salvation. Children, decide for Jesus and give Him your life and your hearts, because only in this way will the Most High be able to work in you and through you. On Tuesday, December 24, 2013 we are celebrating Christmas Eve, and that is the day of fasting. The last early Holy Mass will be celebrated at 6 a.m. and there will not be Rosary on Apparition Hill since Novena has finished on December 23, 2013. The evening prayer programme will begin at 5 p.m. with Rosary, followed by Christmas Eve Holy Mass at 6 p.m. when all of the priests will concelebrate and that is why confessions will only take place from 4 p.m to 5.30 p.m. After the evening Holy Mass there will be live Nativity scene performance of Cenacolo community. The prayer vigil with Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will begin at 10 p.m. and last until midnight when Midnight Holy Mass will begin. On Wednesday, December 25, we celebrate Christmas, the birth of Christ. Holy Masses in the parish church of St. James will take place at 7, 8, 9.30 and 11 a.m. and at 6 p.m. After the main Holy Mass at 11 a.m., the parishioners will come for traditional gathering in the parish facilities. Holy Masses in the branch churches in Vionica, Miletina and Surmanci will be celebrated at 10 a.m. On Thursday, December 26, 2013 we will celebrate feast of St. Stephen, the first martyr. Holy Masses will be celebrated only in the parish church at 8 and 11 a.m. and at 6 p.m. On that day, one of our parishioners, Fr. Goran Azinovic, will be ordained as a deacon in the church of St. Stephen in Cerin. Bishop Ratko Peric will ordain him during Holy Mass at 6 p.m. On Friday, December 27, we will celebrate feast of St. John and Holy Masses will take place at 7.30 a.m. and at 6 p.m. in the parish church. The blessing of homes will take place on that day in our parish. On Saturday, December 28, 2013, we will celebrate the feast of Holy Innocents and apart from the regular prayer programme there will be Holy Mass at 3 p.m. for children and their parents. Again, after this Holy Mass, community Cenacolo will have live Nativity scene performance. Christmas concert of Medjugorje parish will be held on Sunday, December 29, 2013 in the Hall of the Blessed John Paul II. A pilgrim from Argentina, Gisella Barreto came to Medjugorje. Gisella is a very famous person in Argentina and in the other countries of Latin America as well. She won several times at the beauty contests, became TV hostess, and even though she lived in the world of glamour, none of that ever made her happy. She came to Medjugorje in 2010 as a result of her mother’s desire and that is when her world started to change. She does not work in media anymore, she does not live in the world of glamour, but she witnesses instead of that and teaches religion in schools and she said how only now she feels happy and blessed in her life after so many years. Gisella told us that she came here to thank Gospa in Medjugorje. This time of Advent, time of expecting Chrismtas is always filled with more intensive preparation of parishioners and pilgrims for celebration of the birth of our Saviour. Early Holy Masses are celebrated at 6 a.m. in the parish church of St. James every day except on Sundays. This is the time of Novena to the Birth of Jesus when Rosary is prayed on Apparition Hill every day at 2 p.m. until December23, 2013. The members of Cenacolo community are setting the scene of Betlehem outside the church of St. James which is the part of setting for the live nativity scene that will take place in Christmas days. Novena to the Birth of Jesus began on Sunday, December 15, 2013 with the prayer of Rosary on Apparition Hill. Josip Marija Katalinic led prayer on the first day and this prayer will continue until December 23, 2013 every day at 2 p.m. The evening prayer programme begins with prayer of Rosary at 5 p.m., followed by Holy Mass at 6 p.m. and with the regular programme afterwards. Early Holy Masses, with Medjugorje Franciscans as the main celebrants, take place every day but Sunday in the church of St. James. Parishioners have opportunity for confession every morning from 5.30 a.m. to 7.30 a.m. and during the evening prayer programme. The Information Office has registered groups from Italy, the United States, Korea, Spain, Lebanon, Ukraine, Romania and Mexico. Mateo Mario is a member of the community of Our Lady Queen of Peace in Sao Paolo in Brazil, and that community is a fruit of Medjugorje. Before he became a priest, he received a degree in Chemistry and worked for few years in chemical factory. His job was good, as well as his salary and he lived a good life according to the standards of the world. Even though he was brought up in a Catholic family, he did not go much to the church at that time. All of that had changed with just one accidental encounter with the Holy Scripture. He came to Medjugorje in 2002, at the time he was in Novitiate. Early Holy Masses are celebrated in Medjugorje every day at 6 a.m. starting with December 2, 2013 and those Holy Masses are opportunity for parishioners to prepare for celebration of Christmas – the birth of Jesus. Novena prior to Christmas will begin on Sunday, December 15 until December 23 with prayer of the Rosary every day at 2 p.m. The evening prayer programme is according to the usual schedule with Rosary at 5 p.m. and Holy Mass at 6 p.m. Adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament will be every Sunday after the main Holy Mass at 11 a.m. for the parishioners. The members of Cenacolo community are fixing the scene for the live Nativity performance that will be held during the Christmas time. We are again in our favorite time of the year, time of the preparation for Christmas, time of Advent. It is the time when we unite our past, our presence and our future. We recall the past because we remember Christ’s first coming when He opened the doors of salvation, doors that were closed and chained due to sin. We look into the future, because we look into Christ’s second coming that will be complete expression of the gift that we anticipate at this time. We look into the presence when we can joyfully acclaim: “Our Lord is coming!” by living presence in the constant anticipation of His act of our salvation and His final coming. That is why present time for Christians is a time when they are directed towards promised eternity in Christ who gives meaning to the time that we live in and turns it into the experience of eternity. Therefore, the lost time is not the time when we failed to do something, but the time when we were not aware of the fullness of the time. That is exactly why we have new opportunity in every Advent to wake up, to open our eyes and to live joy of everyday life. Christian is a man of hope who walks in hope, faith and love in his life. Advent – time of preparation for Christmas began on Sunday, December 1, 2013. Early Holy Masses are held in our parish church every day at 6 a.m. except on Sundays and those Holy Masses are going to be broadcasted live on radio station Mir Medjugorje. The schedule of prayer programme is the same for Croatian and foreign pilgrims. Parish Office has encouraged all families to pray more intensively together and to participate in the prayer programme that is held in the church and on hills in this special season of Advent. In the following four Sundays of Advent, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will take place also after the main Holy Mass at 11 a.m. This is the quiet period for our parish and there are groups of pilgrims from Italy, the United States, Germany, Austria and Korea. Number of Holy Communions: 66 300 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 1324 (44 per day) On Sunday, November 24th we will commemorate the 13th Anniversary of Fr. Slavko's death. He died on that date in 2000, after having prayed the Way of the Cross on Cross Mountain. In the honour of late Fr. Slavko there will be devotion of the Way of the Cross on Cross Mountain at 2 p.m and Holy Mass will be celebrated at 6 p.m. in the church of St. James. After the evening Holy Mass at 7.30 p.m., there will be meditation for parishioners in the Hall of the Blessed John Paul II. Members of the Franciscan Youth from Medjugorje, together with their spiritual assistant Fr. Stanko Cosic, as well as with their regional spiritual assistant Fr. Slaven Brekalo, visited Switzerland from November 7-11, 2013. They visited Croatian Catholic Mission in Zurich and Croats in Switzerland. After they returned, some of them were guests at the radio programme of Radio Mir and they spoke about their journey. While in Switzerland, they played theatre spectacle “Quo vadis fili” and the audience responded well to that play. Romano Nardin and Fr. Mario Dall'Arche from the archdiocese Vittorio Veneto in Italy, and Bruna Calesso, group leader who came for 140 times to Medjugorje, were our guests at the radio station few months ago. Romano came to Medjugorje as a spiritual director of group of pilgrims and he felt that was one wonderful mission for him: “It is a great grace to come to Medjugorje as a priest, because we can witness so many fruits of our faithful. I heard about Medjugorje in 1982 for the first time and came here in 1996. Back then, I also came as a spiritual director and if I am not mistaken, this must be my thirteenth pilgrimage to the Queen of Peace. The National Seminar of the Permanent Formation of the Third Franciscan Order was held in House of Peace in Medjugorje from November 8 – 10, 2013. This seminar was organised by the Herzegovinian regional fraternity and the theme was “The Gospel and Life”. The leader of the seminar that had more than 50 participants from Bosnia and Herzegovina was Fr. Ante Vuckovic, professor at the Catholic Theology Faculty in Split. National Minister Nives Kanecev, Minister of Herzegovinian Regional Fraternity Marija Brekalo and Zeljko Majnadzic, Minister of Bosnian Regional Fraternity of “Kraljica Katarina”.

U nedjelju, 13. siječnja 2013., u župi Međugorje za vrijeme pučke svete mise trideset osoba, većinom mladih bračnih parova, primljeno je u Franjevački svjetovni red – Treći red sv. Franje. Kroz više od godinu dana s njima je radio i za ovaj čin ih pripremao fra Danko Perutina, župni vikar. Obred primanja predvodila je Marija Brekalo, područna ministra FSR-a, koja je kandidate i primila u Red, a njihovo primanje je u ime Crkve i Franjevačke obitelji potvrdio fra Josip Vlašić, područni duhovni asistent. Fra Josip je predvodio i misno slavlje te je održao propovijed u kojoj je potaknuo nove članove FSR-a da im u misi i pričesti bude snaga, u ispovijedi odmor i olakšanje, u evanđelju svjetlo i nadahnuće, a u bratskom zajedništvu radost i pomoć. Na koncu misnog slavlja prisutnima se obratio i međugorski župnik fra Marinko Šakota, izražavajući radost i čestitke novim članovima trećarskog bratstva. Nakon misnog slavlja, bratsko zajedništvo je nastavljeno u prostorijama župe. Nove članove međugorskog FSR-a će kroz godinu novicijata posebno pratiti i za zavjete pripremati Mila Čuljak, područna voditeljica formacije. (svjetovni-franjevci.info) Novinari radiopostaje Mir Međugorje, susrećući hodočasnike u prvim danima nove godine, zabilježili su raznovrsna svjedočanstva od kojih izdvajamo: Tacita Ludivine dolazi iz Francuske Gvajane. Ovo joj je prvi dolazak u Međugorje. ''U Međugorje sam htjela doći jer sam bila daleko od Isusa i ovo mi je način da opet pronađem Božji put'' - kazala je Tacita koja je došla sa skupinom od 30 osoba. Odlazak u Međugorje za mnoge je potraga za čudom, ukazanjem, posebnom porukom. Ni teolozi nizu pošteđeni pitanja vjerničke znatiželje događa li se ondje nešto posebno. Možda više od ostalih, teolozi se na takvim mjestima u sebi „bore“ sa znanjem, disciplinom, poslušnošću hijerarhiji, osobnim životom i Bogom koji, i kad šuti, puno govori. Mnogi su me pitali što mislim o međugorskim ukazanjima? No, ne smatram se pozvanom suditi jesu li ona stvarna i kojem redu pripadaju. Zapravo, s njima moja vjera niti ne raste niti ne pada. Čekam mišljenje Svetog Oca koji će o tome dati zadnju riječ kad za to dođe vrijeme. Ovdje želim dati taj traženi odgovor što mislim kroz svjedočanstvo za Krista koji je i u Međugorju, kao i u svim euharistijama na svijetu jedan jedini, stvarno prisutan, toliko jak da bez riječi protrese i dušu i misli. Međugorje me privuklo kao mjesto u meni dragoj BiH, kao jedna drugačija stvarnost od zagrebačke rutine. Ponekad je potrebno otići u drugi kraj, odmaknuti se od svakodnevice da se misli stišaju i da duša malo predahne. U Međugorju su u molitvi Novu 2013. godinu, osim župljana, dočekale i tisuće hodočasnika iz cijeloga svijeta. Prema podacima Ureda informacija u Međugorju su boravile veće skupine iz: Njemačke, Italije, Poljske, Koreje, Kine, Engleske, Slovačke, Češke, SAD-a, Francuske, Španjolske, Rumunjske, Slovenije i Mađarske. Uz njih, te manje skupine iz mnogih država svijeta, na molitvu se slilo i mnoštvo mladih iz Hrvatske i BiH. Svetu misu zahvalnicu za 2012. godinu, u ponedjeljak 31. prosinca, predslavio je fra Miljenko Šteko u koncelebraciji 49 svećenika. Broj podijeljenih sv. pricesti: 78 900 Broj svećenika koncelebranata: 1292 (41 dnevno) U protekloj 2012. godini podijeljeno je ukupno 1 814 900 sv. pričesti, a na sv. misama je koncelebriralo 42 009 svećenika. Međugorje za molitveni doček Nove 2013. godine očekuje nekoliko tisuća hodočasnika, uglavnom mladih, iz čitavoga svijeta. Molitvena noć na Silvestrovo, u ponedjeljak 31. 12. 2012., započinje molitvom krunice u 17 sati. Večernja sv. Misa zahvalnica je u 18, a nakon svete Mise zajednica "Cenacolo" uprizoruje Žive jaslice na platou ispred crkve. U 22 sata počinje molitveno bdijenje pred Presvetim, a potom je svečana sv. Misa. I ove godine cjelokupan program moguće je slikom i tonom pratiti u Velikoj dvorani bl. Ivana Pavla II., a svi oni koji budu ostali izvan natkrivenih prostora, program mogu pratiti na velikome vanjskom ekranu iza crkve. Doček Nove godine iz župne crkve sv. Jakova u Međugorju uživo će prenositi i Radiopostaja Mir Međugorje. U subotu 29. prosinca 2012., s početkom u 15 sati, u Međugorju je održan godišnji susret studenata Udruge «Fra Slavko Barbarić». Ove Akademske godine stipendije i potpore primilo je ukupno 229 (dvije stotine dvadeset i devet) studenata, sa svih fakulteta i smjerova. Susret je, pozdravom studentima, otvorio predsjednik Udruge dr. fra Miljenko Šteko, zahvalivši članovima Udruge na suradnji i zajedničkom radu, a darovateljima na darežljivosti. Sudionicima je potom, dopredsjednik udruge i ravnatelj Majčinog sela, fra Svetozar Kraljević održao predavanje o Kulturi činjenja dobra. 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 2013. GODINA! Neka vam ovaj Božić bude dan radosti i mira. Neka Vas Isus pohodi u vašim obiteljima i rodi se u skrovitosti vašega srca! Župni ured Međugorje Informativni centar «Mir» Međugorje (slike) 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 15 minuta i trajalo je 10 minuta. Jakov je, nakon toga, prenio poruku: "Draga djeco, darujte mi vaš život i potpuno mi se predajte da vam mogu pomoći shvatiti moju majčinsku ljubav i ljubav moga Sina prema vama. Djeco moja, ja vas neizmjerno volim i danas na poseban način, na dan rođenja moga Sina, želim svakoga od vas primiti u svoje srce i vaše živote darovati mome Sinu. Djeco moja, Isus vas voli i daje vam milost da živite u njegovu milosrđu, ali mnoga vaša srca je obuzeo grijeh i živite u tami. Zato, djeco moja, ne čekajte, recite ne grijehu, a vaša srca predajte mome Sinu, jer samo tako ćete moći živjeti Božje milosrđe i s Isusom u vašim srcima krenuti putem spasenja." Na četvrtu nedjelju došašća, 23. prosinca, uz uobičajeni molitveno liturgijski program i ispovijed, održat će se i prigodni Božićni koncert u dvorani Majčina sela, u 20 sati, a organiziraju ga Župni ured Međugorje, Majčino selo i Mjesne zajednice Bijakovići i Međugorje. Od ponedjeljka 3. prosinca u Međugorju se slave svete Mise zornice u 6 sati kojima se župljani pripravljaju za svetkovinu Božića, rođenja Isusova. Devetnica započinje u subotu 15. prosinca krunicom uz Podrbrdo u 14 sati - svakodnevno se moli do 23. prosinca. Večernji molitveno-liturgijski program u crkvi započinje kao i redovito u 17 sati molitvom krunice, u 18 je sv. Misa, a nakon Mise uobičajeni molitveni program. Mogućnost Ispovijedi je svako jutro od 5,30, a u popodnevnim satima od 16 sati. U nedjeljama Došašća Klanjanje Isusu u Presvetom oltarskom sakramentu je nakon Mise za đake u 9,30. Već nekoliko dana članovi Zajednice Cenacolo, ispred međugorske župne crkve sv. Jakova, pripremaju žive jaslice koje će uprizoriti u božićno vrijeme. U ponedjeljak, 10. prosinca u Međugorju je pao i prvi snijeg. Stephane Galbert dolazi iz Martiniquea. Ovo mu je prvi dolazak u Međugorje. Kaže da u Martiniqueu dosta ljudi zna za Međugorje, jer je proteklih godina mnogo njih ovdje hodočastilo i oni su svjedočili ono što su doživjeli. Njihova poruka je da bi na ovo mjesto trebao doći svaki kršćanin. ''Ja sam se uvijek osjećao blizu Gospi, jer sam od svoje osme godine imao mali Gospin kip i nekako sam povezan s njom. Tako da kad mi je moja majka pričala o Međugorju i pozvala me da dođem ovdje, odmah sam prihvatio i shvatio sam da je ovo Gospin dom. Obično vidimo Mariju prikazanu kako stoji raširenih ruka, zato jer je ona u poslanju, misiji, zove nas k sebi.'' - kazao je Stephane. U subotu 8. prosinca svetkovina je Bezgrešnog začeća Blažene Djevice Marije. Sv. mise na hrvatskome jeziku u župnoj crkvi u Međugorju su u 6 (sv. misa zornica), 8, 11 i 18 sati. Mise na drugim jezicima kao nedjeljom. Večernji molitveni program počinje Krunicom u 17 sati, slijedi svečana sveta Misa. Blagoslov nabožnih predmeta, Molitva za zdravlje duše i tijela, te Slavna otajstva Krunice su nakon Mise. Od 21 do 22 sata je Klanjanje Isusu u Presvetomu Oltarskom Sakramentu. U nedjelju, 9. prosinca 2012. godine, u župnoj crkvi svetoga Jakova u Međugorju održat će se susret velikih župnih zborova iz Hercegovine. Svi zborovi će zajedno pjevati za vrijeme sv. Mise u 18 sati. A potom će zborovi pojedinačno nastupiti i izvesti po dvije skladbe. Misu i nastupe zborova prenosit će izravno i radiopostaja MIR Međugorje. Anton Guanaratnam je hodočasnik iz Kanade. Za Međugorje je čuo prije 6 godina. Kaže kako je njegova prijateljica imala tumor na mozgu i htio joj je nekako reći da Bog postoji. ''Ona nije bila krštena pa sam joj na neki racionalan način htio objasniti da Bog postoji. Onda sam saznao za Međugorje. I sam se počeo vraćati svojoj vjeri. Nakon što sam čuo poruke zavolio sam Blaženu Djevicu Mariju i Boga. Ovdje dolazim već 6 godina i želim širiti Gospine poruke svijetu. Gospa je učinila toliko toga za mene. Osjetio sam veliki mir ovdje na Brdu Ukazanja. Na misama mi se posebno dopadaju propovijedi. Osim toga, klanjanje mi je posebno jer se tako mnogo ljudi klanja Isusu, a sve je nekako mirno i zato je posebno'' - kazao je hodočasnik iz Kanade. U nedjelju 2. prosinca počinje Došašće - vrijeme priprave za Božić. Od ponedjeljka, 3.prosinca, u župi Međugorje započinju svete mise zornice Rođenju Isusovu. Svaki dan, osim nedjelje, bit će u župnoj crkvi sveta Misa zornica u 6 sati, koju će prenositi i Radiopostaja Mir Međugorje. Raspored molitveno-liturgijskoga programa ostaje isti za hrvatske i inozemne hodočasnike. Iz župnog ureda pozivaju na intenzivniju obiteljsku molitvu, sudjelovanje na molitvenom programu u crkvi i molitve na brdima. Kroz četiri nedjelje Došašća u 10.30 bit će klanjanje Isusu u Presvetome Oltarskom Sakramentu. U Međugorju su, u ovome uobičajeno mirnijem vremenu, hodočasnici iz Italije, Rumunjske, SAD-a, Slovačke, Ukrajine, Njemačke, Hrvatske.
