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”. National spiritual assistant of the Third Franciscan Order, Fr. Ljubo Kurtovic and Fr. Danijel Rajic, national spiritual assistant of the Franciscan Youth were also present. Marija Puljić, Third Franciscan Order and Franciscan Youth from Bosnian Province Pilgrims from Italy, France, Portugal, Germany, the United States, Singapore, Canada, Brazil and Croatia were in Medjugorje in the last few days. We had chance to meet Biljana Pesorda, a pilgrim and composer of the spiritual music from Slavonski Brod, who at the same time is a mother to eight children. She said that it is beautiful to live in such a big family and it is a fulfillment of everything she ever wanted. “God was merciful and gave me a big family with beautiful, healthy and smart children”, said Biljana and she added that apart from family her biggest joy is to compose the spiritual music. Jamail Samal Lotrivera from Caribbean and Fr. Perkas Danilo Hali from Indian province participated last summer at the General Assembly of Dominican Order that was held in Trogir in Croatia. During that visit they came to Medjugorje and gave interview at the radio station “Mir” Medjugorje. For the last few years Fr. Perkas Danilo Hali works in Rome, in the Roman Curia. He heard about Medjugorje from his brothers Dominicans, who came here three years ago. “They told me I should come to Medjugorje during my visit to Croatia because it was very near. I wanted to see what was attracting so many people to come here and how they lived their faith, and what could we as Dominicans, preachers, learn from all that.” Jamail said that he was on Apparition Hill and regardless of the fact that they did not have a guide, people still climbed on their own and prayed. “As I sat next to the Statue of Mother of God, the Queen of Peace, I felt peace as well as all the time when I was in the church and at the outside altar. There is some special peace here and I really learned that this is the place of peace.” Jamail added that he heard about Medjugorje when he was 20: “I read books about Medjugorje and this place was always in my mind, especially when people told me that I needed to come here. I came because I had to and I promised to pray for them. The most powerful message is the one that Gospa loves us, that we need to love other people in the same way she loves us and that is the most important message of the Gospel.” Foundation “I hear, I believe, I see” from Zagreb, headed by Foundation Administrator Mirko Hrkac, organised a pilgrimage and educational trip of young people and students with disability to Medjugorje in the period from October 18-20, 2013. Apart from Medjugorje they also visited National Park Krka, Sinj and Makarska. After they arrived, Fr. Dragutin Goricanec, their spiritual assistant led the Way of the Cross at the back of the church for the whole group. Young people, especially those with disability, were thrilled to climb Apparition Hill on Saturday, October 19, 2013. They also participated in the evening prayer programme that was held outdoors and they were there for the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament that was translated in various languages. This is what some of them shared with us: “Many pilgrims were around the church and nearly all seats were taken, but even in the silence one could hear the prayer and gentle sound of music, true food and repose for our souls. After the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament was finished, we all met at the Statue of Our Lady and thanked our dear Mother for the grace of being here and for all of the gifts She gave us.” You probably had chance to hear many stories of people who arrive to Medjugorje by various means of transport. Surely, one of the most interesting visits took place in the end of October. A German pilgrim, Gerald Dany who is 49 and lives in Slovakia at the moment, came to Medjugorje by bicycle. He heard about Medjugorje in 1989 for the first time during his visit to Belgium when he met one Catholic family. Then, he arrived to Medjugorje in 1990. Just twelve days ago, he began his pilgrimage through Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina where he plans to stay for a few days. He said how he is very connected to Medjugorje and added: “Now I will continue my journey and I want to go to Rome by bicycle. Most likely I will go to Spain afterwards and visits places of pilgrimage there.” Pilgrims from all over the world came to Medjugorje in the end of October and those great numbers continued in the beginning of November when we celebrated feasts of All Saints and All Souls Day. The Information Office registered groups from Spain, Slovenia, Italy, France, Canada, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Ukraine, England, the United States, Brazil, Ireland, Korea, Belgium, Portugal, and Venezuela. Apart from them there was a young group from Zagreb, parish of Queen of the Holy Rosary. They had two-day spiritual renewal led by six Dominican students. They visited Apparition Hill and Cross Mountain and participated in the evening prayer programme. The entire prayer programme in Medjugorje was held at the White Dome throughout the whole October, just like in the summer days. On Friday, November 8, 2013 we will celebrate first anniversary of death of the former Medjugorje parish priest, Fr. Petar Vlasic. Holy Mass will be celebrated for him at 6 p.m. in Medjugorje church of St. James. Petar died in his 75th year of life, in his 51st year of priesthood and he was a priest for the last 47 years. He served in the various parishes as the parish vicar, the parish priest and the guardian of the monastery. He was in Medjugorje since 1999, and he was appointed as the parish priest in August 2007. He was buried in Kovacica graveyard. Petar was the assistant parish priest in Humac from 1967-1969, parish priest in Rasno from 1969-1977, parish priest in Kongora from 1977 – 1983, province secretary from 1981 – 1988, the assistant parish priest in Posusje from 1983 -1985, parish priest in Ljuti Dolac from 1985 – 1988, guardian and parish priest in Mostar in 1988,parish priest in Siroki Brijeg from 1988 – 1991,parish priest in Blagaj from 1991-1999, de familia in Mostar in 1999, the assistant parish priest in Medjugorje from 1999-2007 and finally parish priest in Medjugorje from August 25, 2007 until the day of his death. John Barwa, Archbishop from Archdiocese Cuttack Bhubaneswar in Odisha, came recently in his first visit to Medjugorje. His Archdiocese has 11 million people and 70 000 are Catholics. He came to Medjugorje in a group of 43 Chinese and some of them live in America, Canada, Malaysia and Hong Kong. He said how Medjugorje is a place famous in the whole world. “My first impressions are really beautiful. This is a place where Mother Mary is truly present. People here act according to that, with that feeling that Mary is our Mother and they are prepared to share that experience with other pilgrims. That is why I am really proud of Medjugorje and I am very happy.

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.
