Pilgrims from Pula and Istria, grateful to God and Gospa, after 34 years of Our Lady’s apparitions have recalled their trips to Our Lady, the Queen of Peace. Many of them have been coming since the beginning and so many of them were witnesses of abundant graces they received through Our Lady’s intercession. Inspired by the prayer communities from Medjugorje, Siroki Brijeg and the whole world, fifteen years ago they felt calling to found their own prayer community. The parish office Medjugorje is organising three days spiritual renewal for parishioners of Medjugorje that will be held from February 6-8, 2015. The programme of the spiritual renewal begins with the prayer of Rosary at 5 p.m. and will continue with Holy Mass at 6 p.m. After the evening Holy Mass there will be lecture and prayer in the Hall of St. John Paul II. Damir will conduct the spiritual renewal. Parish office encouraged everyone to come and enjoy this spiritual retreat. For the last 20 years, the Franciscan Youth is active in Medjugorje and their members Zdravka Šego, Antonija Sivrić and Marija Vasilj, presented their activities in the programme of radio Mir Medjugorje. Their president, Zdravka said that YouFra has around 130 members and last Sunday they had ceremony of solemn vows and promises: „Not all of our members were there as some of them were not ready. 105 members gave their vows. Our YouFra is active in various activities and groups such as creative, music, reading, media, multimedia… Vatikan (IKA) – „I would like to announce that, God willing, I will be coming to Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, on June 6” – said pope Francis after the Angelus on Sunday, February 1. Holy Father invited all faithful to accompany this journey of his with prayer, as his wish is to visit faithful Catholics who live in that country, to wake up the yeast of goodness and to contribute to strengthening of brotherhood and peace. On Sunday, February 1, 2015, the young members of the Franciscan Youth from Medjugorje, had ceremony of solemn promises and vows during the evening Holy Mass, celebrated by Fr. Slaven Brekalo, the regional spiritual assistant, along with 9 priests concelebrating. 34 members gave their first promises, and 28 of them confirmed their vows to the Franciscan Youth. At the end of the solemn Holy Mass, their spiritual assistant Fr. Stanko Cosic, and Fr. Marinko Sakota, the parish priest, congratulated them and wished them to continue their journey with St. Francis towards Christ: As every February, Medjugorje is going through a very quiet period with fewer pilgrims, and there are smaller groups from Italy, France, Austria and the USA. The Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord was solemnly celebrated on Monday, February 2, when four Holy Masses were celebrated in Croatian language and one in Italian, German, French and English. The evening prayer programme began with the Rosary led by Fr. Karlo Lovric, and Fr. Dragan Ruzic was the main celebrant, with five other priests concelebrating. Number of Holy Communions: 45 050 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 943 (30 per day) The Third Franciscan Order has been active in Medjugorje in the parish of St. James for many years now. The spiritual assistant Fr. Ivan Landeka Jr., together with the members of Fraternity: Jure Cilic, Marija Vasilj and Sanja Ivankovic, presented the activities of the Third Order in the programme of our radio station. The Third Order has a long tradition, since the charisma of St. Francis thrilled parishioners and inspired them to imitate principles and the spirit of St. Francis in their families. Marinko Šakota, Medjugorje parish priest, who was our guest in the programme of our radio spoke about the upcoming the Fourth International Pilgrimage for Special Needs Persons that will be held from June 11-14, 2015, in Medjugorje. This pilgrimage is already announced so there could be more room for all participants in the homes of parishioners. Marinko said: “Last year the pilgrimage was held in October, the year before in September, we are trying to find the best time for parishioners who would like to take all participants in their homes. People want to come here; this experience for them is really special. It is special for us too, as we all felt love. The Fourth International Pilgrimage of Special Needs Persons will be held from June 11 -14, 2015 in Medjugorje. The pilgrims will again be hosted by Medjugorje parishioners. The last pilgrimage was held in October 2014, with the theme “In Our Lady’s School”, and more than 1350 participants were gathered. The pilgrimage was organised in association of the Medjugorje parish office, association “Susret” from Ciltuk and of Mother’s Village. Despite such a great number of pilgrims, they were all hosted in family homes or hotels in Medjugorje, and all accommodation expenses were for free. 85 families from Medjugorje took part in this good deed of love. The participants told us many beautiful impressions and this is what Vilma Lazaneo from island of Brac in Croatia, told us: Last spring we had a visit from one Benedictine priest, who has been coming to Medjugorje for years for the Youth Festival. He spoke about his experience that the spark was lit in my heart and I had to travel to that place as well. My husband told me that he would accompany me. For years before that, I lived in some sort of irrational fear that I could not explain. In the last few years the fear was intensified. I was trying to conquer it with various treatments and my own forces, but all was in vain. The fear was all around me at all times. Together with two other problems – heart difficulties and loosing of consciousness, the fear was just becoming bigger. In the medical terms, no one could define it. There was no organic cause for it. In my religious world, they were always telling me it was a spiritual struggle. Parish choir "Queen of Peace" was established in 1990, and every since then they are making all liturgical celebrations more beautiful and solemn. At the moment there are 40 great singers and since 2010, Sr. Irena Azinovic is conducting the choir. They have performed at few important events last year and they also had independent concert in July last year with quite interesting programme. Sr. Irena thanked everyone and said during that occasion: "I would like to thank everyone who is supporting our work, especially to our parish priest Fr. Marinko as well as to the families of our members for their great understanding. It is a huge grace and responsibility to be here in Medjugorje, but it is not easy to persevere. That is why I thank dear God and Gospa for all these wonderful people that I work with. We have enormous help in our assistant professor Katja, that makes all this possible. Web site fratri3.net, the official web site of seminarians of Herzegovinian Franciscan Province, published the interview with Fr. Ante Vuckovic, a priest, a theologian and a philosopher. Ante among other things spoke about his experience of Medjugorje and the 25th Youth Festival. Every day, through the lectures, he was teaching young people how to pray, how to participate in the community and in their work by entrusting themselves to the Blessed Mother, inviting them just like Jesus invited St. John when he said "Behold your Mother". He said:"The Youth Festival was precious experience of encounters with young people who are led by their longing for God, prayer, communion in the spirit of God. I did not hide how thrilled I was. Even more, I felt so happy that I was able to be part of that event. After the whole-day prayer programme, young people wanted more and more. They had huge hunger for God and for praising Him. The Third Franciscan Order was established in Medjugorje on September 17, 1885, by Fr. Anzelmo Culina. According to the information from 1940, the parish had 625 members of the Third Franciscan Order. After the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1981, not just the Third Franciscan Order but the whole parish radiated with peace and joy. The new members were taken into the Order, and since then, members were celebrating all major feasts in their communion. From1991 -2007, we do not have any official record about the work and the activities of the Third Franciscan Order. This year we will celebrate 46 years ever since the solemn blessing of Medjugorje parish church of St. James. After the parish was established in 1892, the first parish church, beautiful and spacious at the time, was completed in 1897. Due to the unstable grounds it was built on, the walls began to crack and the building started to sink, so immediately after the World War I, the parish began to consider the construction of the new church. The works lasted from1934 until January 19, 1969, when the church was blessed. The church of St. James is today the centre of the sacramental and prayer life, not just for the parishioners but for the pilgrims from all over the world. The historian Dr. Fr. Robert Jolić said for the programme of radio Mir Medjugorje that even Glas Koncila, famous Croatian Catholic magazine wrote about that: „Everything was solemn and really superb and I believe it was the event that deserved all those praises. That event, the blessing, was the end of one long journey that had started more than thirty years before. But in 1969, only the rough construction works were completed and many more works followed even afterwards. Our Franciscans, Fr. Stanko Vasilj and Fr. Leonard Oreč had sent one report to Glas Koncila magazine that was published in the beginning of February 1969, and published in our magazine Oasis of Peace in 2012. There were many people and the Provincial was also invited. They also read the list of donators for the church.”- said Dr. Fr. Robert Jolić.

Petnaesti međunarodni seminar za bračne parove održat će se u Međugorju od 13. do 16. srpnja 2014. godine. „Povjerenje u braku i odgoju“ Program: Nedjelja , 13. srpnja 2014. Registracija sudionika Uvod u seminar Večernji molitveni program u crkvi Devetnaesti međunarodni seminar za svećenike, na kojemu se okupilo 306 svećenika i bogoslova iz 25 zemalja, odnosno 11 jezičnih skupina, završio je sv. misom zahvalnicom u subotu 12. srpnja, koju je predvodio voditelj seminara, fra Ljubo Kurtović, župnik u Veljacima. Sudionici su došli iz: Ukrajine, Koreje, Litve, Njemačke, Švicarske, Austrije, Brazila, Italije, Rusije, Hrvatske, BiH, Srbije, Slovenije, Mađarske, Češke, Slovačke, Francuske, Belgije, SAD-a, Irske, Perua, Ekvadora, Argentine, Španjolske i Poljske. Tema ovoga međunarodnog seminara bila je: „Evo ti Majke!” „U Gospinoj školi”. Po svjedočanstvima svećenika sudionika, razabiru se izuzetno dobri plodovi i odluka za dolazak za idući susret, dvadeseti po redu, u Međugorju. Mladi svećenik Mitja Bulić iz biskupije Novo Mesto (Slovenija) prvi put je sudjelovao na seminaru za svećenike u Međugorju. Rekao je da je postao svećenik prije godinu dana, a u Međugorju je bio 30-ak puta. „Vrlo duboka iskustva nosim sa seminara, zanimljivo mi je geslo „Evo ti Majke!“, jer cijeli život živim s Marijom, mislim da me ona vodi Isusu. Ovi dani u Međugorju za mene su velika milost. Ovakvi seminari nam pomažu mnogo u životu, to je nužno i potrebno. Ja mislim da sam ovdje otkrio duhovno zvanje, ovdje sam oživio svoju molitvu, čitanje Božje riječi. Prvi put sam došao kad sam imao 6 godina, i već tada sam osjetio nešto moćno i ne mogu to zaboraviti. Tu se osjeti mir, snaga molitve. Gdje god si u Međugorju, osjetiš mir”-kazao je mladi svećenik iz Slovenije. U Međugorju je u tijeku 19. međunarodni seminar za svećenike. Sudjeluje oko 300 svećenika, đakona i bogoslova iz 25 zemalja. Fra Luka Zorić, član Hercegovačke franjevačke provincije, djeluje u Slanom i prvi put sudjeluje na ovom seminaru:. „Prvi put sam ovdje na duhovnim vježbama. Na seminaru se osjeća zajedništvo. Sudionici žele doživjeti uistinu nešto novo kako bi mogli pastoralno bolje djelovati. Svake godine obavljam duhovne vježbe (to je dužan svaki svećenik) . Ne moram ići iz kuće, jer se održavaju duhovne vježbe i u Slanom ne samo za svećenike nego i za druge vjernike. Ove godine nisam uspio u duhovnim vježbama doživjeti ono što mogu ovdje doživjeti. Ovdje se opustim i potpuno se predam molitvi". Na 19. međunarodnom seminaru za svećenike sudjeluje oko 300 svećenika, đakona i bogoslova iz 25 zemalja: Ukrajine, Koreje, Litve, Njemačke, Švicarske, Austrije, Brazila, Italije, Rusije, Hrvatske, BiH, Srbije, Slovenije, Mađarske, Češke, Slovačke, Francuske, Belgije, SAD-a, Irske, Perua, Ekvadora. Argentine, Španjolske i Poljske. Započeo je u ponedjeljak, 7. srpnja 2014., večernjim molitveno liturgijskim programom. Misno slavlje je predslavio na vanjskom oltaru crkve sv. Jakova s još 234 svećenika fra Ljubo Kurtović, župnik u Veljacima. Fra Ljubo je i voditelj seminara. 19. duhovne vježbe za svećenike održat će se u Međugorju od 7. do 12. srpnja 2014. „Evo ti Majke!“ (Iv 19, 27) „U Gospinoj školi“ PROGRAM SEMINARA 7.srpnja 2014., ponedjeljak 15. 00 – 18. 00 Prijave sudionika (Nova dvorana) POČETAK SEMINARA Molitva krunice, sv. misa, molitva za ozdravljenje i slavna otajstva krunice Broj podijeljenih sv. pricesti: 211 000 Broj svećenika koncelebranata: 4139 (137 dnevno) Brojni su hodočasnici u Međugorju tijekom proteklih dana s nama podijelili iskustvo Međugorja. Susreli smo skupinu od 27 hodočasnika iz Ugande. Istaknuli su da su radosni zbog dolaska u Međugorje. „Ovdje se osjeća mir i naša Gospa je uistinu Kraljica mira. Taj mir jednostavno kao da te napadne i nađe se dosta vremena za molitvu u Međugorju”- kazali su hodočasnici iz Ugande. Fra Branimir Musa, župnik iz Tihaljine predslavio je, 25.lipnja 2014. na 33. obljetnicu Gospinih ukazanja u Međugorju središnje misno slavlje, na vanjskom oltaru crkve sv. Jakova u Međugorju, zajedno s 247 svećenika. Fra Branimir je istaknuo kako su obljetnice nekih događaja duboko ukorijenjene u svijest pojedinaca i naroda pa ih narodi i pojedinci pretvaraju u svetkovine i blagdane. Kazao je da i mi svetkujemo današnji dan jer se prije 33 godine, u ovom malom hercegovačkom selu, po riječima šestero vidjelaca – tada djeca, danas odrasli ljudi- ukazala Gospa s Isusom u naručju: „Ako se istina zaključuje iz djelovanja i djela, a ne iz apstraktnih premisa, onda je ovo djelo Božje, jer ovdje u Međugorju raste novi duhovni život. Međugorje kao sinonim ukazanja nije opozicija nego snaga jedne svete katoličke i apostolske Crkve. ''Krist je kriterij i podloga svim istinama''. Ovdje želimo propovijedati Krista i istinu. Mnogi postavljaju pitanja koliko je ljudi prošlo kroz Međugorje u ove 33 godine. Brojke nisu bitne. Mi ne brojimo hodočasnike ali ja znam da se u prošloj godini u Međugorju pričestilo 2 milijuna vjernika. To je snaga vjere i Crkve, to su čudesa koja hrane pale i grešne i slabe. Ako netko traži čudo da ozdravi, onda mora znati da čudo ne donosi samo zdravlje nego Boga, a s Bogom dolazi sve ostalo: mir, radost, praštanje. Čudo ne govori o čovjeku nego o Bogu. Čudo uvijek pomaže čovjeku da prepozna Boga. Čudo je bijela hostija u kojoj stanuje Bog.Zašto je Bog izabrao baš ovo mjesto? 33. obljetnica Gospinih ukazanja u Međugorju svečano je obilježena u srijedu, 25. lipnja 2014. Uz brojne hodočasnike iz Hrvatske i Bosne i Hercegovine, u Međugorju su u većim organiziranim skupinama boravili hodočasnici iz Italije, Mađarske, Njemačke, Francuske, Irske, SAD-a, Rumunjske, Kine, Vijetnama, Portorika, Slovenije, Poljske, Belgije, Slovačke, Koreje, Švicarske, Austrije, Australije, Španjolske, Albanije, Brazila, Hong-Konga, Meksika, Ukrajine, Libanona, Kanade, Kolumbije, Litve, Latvije, Portugala, Šri Lanke, Argentine, Urugvaja i Ugande. Osim uobičajenim prometnim sredstvima, zamjetljiv broj hodočasnika, posebice mladi, u Međugorje je pristigao pješice kako bi ispunili svoje zavjete Kraljici mira i zahvalili za udijeljene milosti. (slike) Večernju svetu misu na uočnicu Gospinih ukazanja u Međugorju na vanjskom oltaru crkve sv. Jakova predslavio je, u koncelebraciji 188 svećenika, fra Miro Šego, župnik župe Krista Kralja u Čitluku. Misno je slavlje uveličao veliki zbor Kraljice mira pod ravnanjem s. Irene Azinović. Fra Miro je na početku pozdravio sve okupljene, kako je kazao, u predvečerje obljetnice Gospina ukazanja. U propovijedi je, između ostalog istaknuo: Vidjelica Ivanka Ivanković Elez imala je redovito godišnje ukazanje 25. lipnja 2014. Prigodom posljednjeg svakodnevnog ukazanja 7. svibnja 1985. Gospa je Ivanki, povjerivši joj posljednju, 10. tajnu, kazala da će tijekom cijelog svog života imati ukazanje jedanput u godini i to na obljetnicu ukazanja. Tako je bilo i ove godine. Ukazanje, koje je trajalo 4 minute, Ivanka je imala u svojoj obiteljskoj kući. Ukazanju je bila nazočna samo Ivankina obitelj. Nakon ukazanja vidjelica Ivanka je rekla: „ Gospa nam je dala svoj majčinski blagoslov“. U utorak, 24. lipnja 2014., brojni hodočasnici sa svih strana svijeta sudjelovali su na 23. međunarodnoj hodnji mira Humac – Međugorje. Oko šest sati međugorski župnik fra Marinko Šakota, obraćajući se hodočasnicima, pozvao je na sabranost da u molitvi i pjesmi mogu hoditi prema Međugorju. Pred sami polazak Hodnje mira, humački gvardijan fra Velimir Mandić obratio se hodočasnicima: „ Neka i ovaj vaš put bude doprinos hvali i slavi Bogu koji će dati mir svim ljudima na svijetu”. Uz molitvu i pjesmu u čast Kraljice mira, sudionici su pred međugorsku župnu crkvu sv. Jakova stigli oko 10 sati. Tom su prigodom sudionici Hodnje mira i drugi nazočni vjernici sudjelovali u pobožnosti klanjanja Isusu u Presvetom oltarskom sakramentu i primili blagoslov s Presvetim. (slike) Međugorje će u srijedu, 25. lipnja 2014. proslaviti 33. obljetnicu Gospinih ukazanja. Svete mise toga dana na hrvatskom jeziku slavit će se u 5,6,7,8,9,11 i središnja svečana sv.misa u 19 sati. Kao i svakog 25.u mjesecu, od 22 do 23 sata bit će Klanjanje Isusu u Presvetom Oltarskom Sakramentu, a nakon toga nastavlja se redovito mjesečno cjelonoćno klanjanje do 7 sati ujutro. Na uočnicu, svetkovinu rođenja sv. Ivana Krstitelja u utorak, 24. lipnja u 6 sati ujutro polazi tradicionalna međunarodna Hodnja mira od samostana sv. Ante na Humcu do župne crkve sv. Jakova u Međugorju. Supružnici Markuz iz Pokupskog, kod Velike Gorice u Hrvatskoj, Stjepan i Ivančica boravili su s troje djece u Međugorju uoči 33. obljetnice Gospinih ukazanja. Stjepanov prvi susret s Međugorjem bio je 1983., a Ivančicin 1993. Nakon što su se vjenčali, a potom dobili djecu, redovito barem jednom godišnje, svi zajedno, posjete Međugorje. Supružnici Markuz ističu da ih Međugorje uvijek osnaži, tako da mogu hoditi hrabro kroz svakodnevicu. Stjepan kaže kako su i ove godine s radošću planirali dolazak u Međugorje:
