The first International Seminar for doctors, nurses and medical workers, which gathered more than 150 participants from 15 countries finished on Saturday, May 11, 2013 with celebration of Holy Mass. Participants were from various professions such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists, medical technicians, as well as pro-life activists. This seminar began on Tuesday, May 7, 2013 and the theme was: “Spiritual renewal for soul and body”. The lecturers were Fr. Ante Vuckovic, dean at the Catholic Faculty of Theology in Split and Fr. Marinko Sakota, parish priest from Medjugorje. Besides lectures that were held in the morning and in the afternoon, all participants took part in the regular evening prayer programme of Medjugorje parish. They gathered on Wednesday morning to pray Rosary on Apparition Hill and on Friday morning they prayed the Way of the Cross on Cross Mountain. After the preparation through the religious teaching, thirty children in parish Mejugorje received their sacrament of the First Holy Communion on May 5, 2013. Slaven Brekalo celebrated Holy Mass and children choir “Doves of Peace” from Medjugorje parish made that celebration even more solemn. What makes Medjugorje more special is that numerous pilgrims were present at this celebration and they came from Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Brazil, England, Ireland, the United States, Canada, France, Italy, Poland, Lebanon, Hungary, Belgium, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Korea and China. Number of Holy Communions: 160 000 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 3232 (107 per day) Ivan Matić is a priest from Croatian Franciscan Province of Sts. Cyril and Methodius seated in Zagreb. He was born in Janjevo, came to Croatia, to Zagreb, where he began his Franciscan journey and worked mainly with youth. He studied in Rome at the time Franciscan Youth was founded, and in Assisi, while in 2000, he returned to Zagreb and came to work in the church of St. Francis in Kaptol. Summer schedule of the prayer programme begins on May 1st. Rosary will be at 6 p.m. and Holy Mass at 7 p.m. while after Holy Mass the regular prayer programme will follow, depending on the day in the week. Adorations on Wednesdays and Saturdays will start at 10 p.m. Devotion of the Way of the Cross on Cross Mountain is on Fridays at 4 p.m., while Rosary on Apparition Hill is on Sundays at 4 p.m. Robert Bahcic, a member of the Slovenian Franciscan Province, was in Medjugorje in the end of April. Robert spent last seven years living in Rome in the Franciscan General Curia, where he served for the first three years as a guardian priest. At the same time, he was also responsible for the bulletin “Fraternitas” that brings news about the activities of the Franciscans in the world. “I was in Medjugorje on several occasions, but this is the first time that I took some time for myself only. I found lots of faith here. There is something in Medjugorje that attracts people to pray and to meditate; this is where they feel inner peace. This is indeed richness that needs to be spread”, said Fr. Robert. Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow from Scotland is the founder of the Humanitarian Organisation Mary’s Meals. This global project was initiated in 2002 with the project of providing food for 200 hungry children in Malawi. Mary’s Meals provide food today for more than 730.000 children in 16 countries throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, South America and Caribbean. Magnus is a father of seven children and they gladly come to Medjugorje on a pilgrimage, because this is where his life was completely changed. He came here for the first time in 1983, as fourteen years old boy, together with his brothers, sisters and cousins. He told us that it was in that week lives of all of them were changed: “We returned to Scotland and made strong decision to live God in our lives. Our parents could see something was different with us and later, they decided to come here with us. Ever since that time, I came here, to Medjugorje on many occasions.” Mary’s Meals have developed out of the humanitarian work Marcus had initiated during the homeland war in this region. Andrea Murabale, Vicar of the Franciscan Province in Congo, was in Medjugorje in the last few days. He told us how the first missionaries in one part of Congo were from Croatia and he especially remembered late Fr. Jozo Vasilj, who left a profound trace in that country. Andrea spoke about numerous spiritual vocations in his country, about life in Congo as well as about experience of Medjugorje. “Fr. Jozo did many good deeds in Congo. I remember him as an exceptional person. I met him in 1989, during my time in the Novitiate. The first thing I noticed about him was his intelligence and the warmth and gentleness he had when he spoke to us. He came into the Novitiate in the evening, and already the next morning, he knew the names of all twenty candidates. He was my professor and my educator for full six years and his lectures were so vivid that it was pure joy to listen to him. At the same time, he remembered birthdays of all candidates and students and never missed opportunity to congratulate us on those days.” As he spoke more about Fr. Jozo, who was born in Medjugorje, Fr. Andrea especially remembered his sense for brotherhood and love he expressed towards his brothers, men: “He was man of love. Once, we went together into the prison, and Fr. Jozo, after he saw prisoner that had nothing to put on him, he took off his shirt and gave it to him.” This was Fr. Andrea’s second trip to Medjugorje, and this is what he said: “This is indeed the place of prayer. Franciscans from Medjugorje speak to me frequently about Croatian missionaries, and that is always a wonderful opportunity to remember the encounters that have contributed to wellbeing of my people so much. It is really beautiful for me to be here.” More pilgrims started arriving to Medjugorje in this period after Easter when weather is so beautiful. The journalists of Radio Mir Medjugorje spoke to some of them. “My name is Maria Degola and I am coming from Verona, Italy. This is my third time to Medjugorje and I came here in 1990 for the first time. That is when I experienced complete silence during the apparition time, despite the big crowds that was around me. I thought about what made me come there in those days. My second visit to Medjugorje was in 2003, after my husband and my daughter, that was only 34, had died. One of my friends told me: “Maria, you should go to Medjugorje, so God could give you strength to overcome all that you have been going through.” That is what I did. This time, I arrived with my son Francesco who has Down syndrome. We were in Fatima last year and this year we came to Medjugorje.” In the Franciscan Province of Herzegovina has been designated a new Administration. As Provincial has been chosen our director of ICMM, Fr. Miljenko Šteko. We send ours congratulations to Fra Miljenko and we wish success on its task, the God’s Blessing and the intercession of the Queen of the Peace in the exercise of this service of responsibility. There were many pilgrims who arrived to Medjugorje this Easter, among them was Fr. Manoj Pathiyil from India, who lives in Germany at the moment where he studies Theology. This is his first visit to Medjugorje. It was in India where he heard about the apparitions in Medjugorje, and after he came to Germany, he heard about Medjugorje again. “In the beginning, I found it hard to believe that Mother of God is personally coming to this place every single day, but after I arrived here, I can see that this is something real and these apparitions are really taking place. It seems to me that people are ready to accept God’s plan. I see that all pilgrims who have arrived here are so happy to be here and to share their experiences of how Mother of God influenced their lives and still influences them.” said Fr. Manoj. (photos) Number of Holy Communions: 102 500 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 1577 (50 per day) Many pilgrims gathered in Medjugorje this year to participate together with parishioners in the liturgy of the Easter Triduum.

Rosary on Holy Thursday began at 5 p.m. and solemn Holy Mass of the Lord’s Supper at 6 p.m. that was celebrated by Fr. Slaven Brekalo along with 29 priests. Many pilgrims were climbing Cross Mountain on Good Friday, from the early morning hours and they all prayed the Way of the Cross as they went up. Devotion of the Way of the Cross began at 11 a.m. for parishioners and Croatian pilgrims and Fr. Marinko Sakota, the parish priest, was the leader of that prayer. Rosary began at 5 p.m. and Good Friday Service was held at 6 p.m. with Fr. Tomislav Pervan as the leader. Easter Vigil began at 8 p.m. on Holy Saturday and Fr. Miljenko Steko was the main celebrant.

Svoje iskustvo podijelili su s novinarima Radiopostaje Mir Međugorje: „Međugorje je posebno mjesto, a nama su molitva i ispovijed najljepši. Ovdje smo svi jedno, svi smo prijatelji”. Također su nam kazali da se u Međugorju snažno osjeća Božja blizina i da su radosni što mogu sklopiti nova prijateljstva i produbljivati svoju vjeru.

Nakon za tjedan dana prijeđenih 700 kilometara najprije su pred župnom crkvom, kod kipa Kraljice Mira, zahvalile za sretan dolazak. „Sretni smo što smo stigli, i vjerojatno ćemo svoje hodočašće ponoviti“, kazali su nam mladi hodočasnici.

Govorili su nam o svojoj obitelji te glazbenom djelovanju. Otac obitelji Darko je kazao da je za Međugorje čuo već prvih dana ukazanja, a već je iduće godine s jednom skupinom iz Slavonskog Broda hodočastio Kraljici Mira. „Pratimo događanja u Međugorju u koje svojoj majci dolazimo u zagrljaj. Toliko smo se puta uvjerili u njezinu veliku ljubavi za sve one koje nosimo u svom srcu. Ovo nam je drugi dom“ – složno su nam kazali članovi obitelj Cindrić koji su u Međugorje došli s molitvenom zajednicom Totus Tuus. Susret duhovnih zvanja Broćanskog dekanata već pet godina održava se u različitim župama ovoga dekanata. Ovogodišnji susret, na kojemu je sudjelovalo 50-ak sudionika, održan je u Međugorju u ponedjeljak 22. srpnja. Nazočnima je o međugorskoj župi i pastoralnom djelovanju u njoj govorio fra Marinko Šakota, međugorski župnik. Sudionike su pozdravili dekan Broćanskog dekanata fra Mate Dragićević i načelnik općine Čitluk Ivo Jerkić. Tijekom susreta slavljena je i sveta Misa.

Jakova - zaštitnika župe Međugorje. Svete Mise u župnoj crkvi slave se u 7, 8 i 19 sati, a središnja proslava - svečana sveta Misa je u 11 sati u Gaju. Procesija s kipom kreće iz crkve u 10, 45 sati.

U 22 sata počinje zajedničko klanjanje, a nakon toga Presveto će biti izloženo u crkvi do 7 sati ujutro. Župa Međugorje utemeljena je 1892. godine i od svoga osnutka posvećena je sv. Jakovu, zaštitniku hodočasnika. U nepuna tri tjedna u Međugorju su Mlade Mise proslavila tri svećenika: 3.srpnja don Filip Pavlović, 7. srpnja fra Mario Ostojić i 21.srpnja fra Josip Serđo Ćavar. Fra Josip Serđo za mladomisničko geslo izabrao je citat iz poslanice Efežanima: „Koje li radosti u pozivu Njegovu!“ Prije početka Mise uvodnu riječ održao je župnik fra Marinko Šakota i čestitao mladomisniku. Propovijedao je fra Danko Perutina koji je zahvalio Bogu što pod obroncima Podbrda i Križevca nastaju i rastu duhovna zvanja. Fra Danko je mladomisniku naglasio poruku iz Evanđelja – da treba biti i Marija i Marta – i moliti i raditi. Uz hodočasnike iz nekoliko država svijeta, novinari Radiopostaje „Mir“ Međugorje ovih su dana razgovarali i s onima iz Meksika. Među njima je bila i Theresa, koja je prvi put u Međugorje hodočastila prije dvije godine. Tada je došla zbog znatiželje, nakon što je na dar dobila kip Međugorske Gospe: „Sve je bilo čudesno, imala sam vremena za ispovijed, pričest, molitvu, klanjanje i svetu Misu. Za vrijeme Mise sam osjećala kako Gospa dotiče moje srce i traži da se obratim. Nakon povratka s hodočašća puno sam čitala o Međugorju jer sam osjećala da to trebam činiti. I sad sam opet ovdje, kod Majke“ Theresa je također istaknula da su joj Gospine poruke pomogle razumjeti Međugorje: „Ovdje volim biti najviše zbog toga što je ovo posebno mjesto u kojem možete ući u svoje srce i biti s Gospodinom u tišini; možete ostaviti sve terete i samo slušati Boga, a ništa Mu ne govoriti’’. Dvadesetpetogodišnji Khaled Abu Sini iz Nazareta ovih je dana prvi put hodočastio u Međugorje, jako je zahvalan što mu se ispunila velika i davna želja. Između ostalog nam je rekao: „Puno ljudi u Izraelu zna za Međugorje i Gospine poruke. Iz moje župe svake godine se organizira hodočašće Kraljici Mira i u Lurd. Kad se vratim doma svima ću reći da obvezno odu u Međugorje koje je produženi Nazaret, dom Svete obitelji. Osjećam da me je ovdje nešto dotaknulo iznutra. Josip, Marija i Isus su živjeli u Nazaretu prije mnogo godina i za nas je to jako važno. Sada, u ovom vremenu, Marija se ovdje ukazuje, toliko godina dolazi, živa je. To nije samo neka priča. Mariju mogu osjetiti, daje mi snagu, dotiče me iznutra, snaži mi vjeru koja će uvijek biti jaka bez obzira došao ja u Međugorje ili ne. Ne mogu riječima opisati taj osjećaj, to je kao neka energija, neki nutarnji osjećaj“ – kazao je ozareni mladi hodočasnik iz Nazareta. U utorak, 23. srpnja, u Međugorju će se održati simpozij o liku i djelu fra Stanka Vasilja (1920.-1993.). Sudjeluju: fra Tomislav Pervan, fra Ivan Dugandžić, fra Robert Jolić, Ivica Šarac, Josip Muselimović, Snježana Vrbanec, Krešo Šego, fra Marinko Šakota. Simpozij će se održati u dvorani bl. Ivana Pavla II. s početkom u 16 sati. U 18 sati je molitva krunice, a u 19 sati sveta Misa na kojoj će se izvoditi fra Stankove skladbe. Nakon svete Mise slijedi svečana akademija. U nedjelju 14. srpnja 2013. u župnoj crkvi Presvetog Trojstva u Buhovu svoju Mladu Misu proslavio je fra Stanko Ćosić. Svečano misno slavlje započelo je procesijom u 11 sati. Prije samog početka fra Stankovi roditelji udijelili su mu blagoslov, a potom je četvero mladih iz župe izvelo prigodnu recitaciju. Buhovski župnik don Pavo Filipović pozdravio je nazočne, zaželio im dobrodošlicu, izrazio radost zbog mladomisničkog slavlja u Buhovu nakon 27 godina, kad je mladu misu slavio fra Petar Topić, te pozvao mladomisnika da započne svetu Misu. U koncelebraciji su bili ovogodišnji mladomisnici fra Mario i fra Josip Serđo, provincijal fra Miljenko, župnik don Pavo te još trideset svećenika. Fra Stankov propovjednik bio je fra Nikica Devčić, fratar Zadarske provincije. Zaželio je fra Stanku da bude milosrdni Samarijanac ljudima današnjeg vremena, da znadne liječiti mnogovrsne rane svim ljudima, znanima i neznanima. Na kraju svete Mise mladomisniku i njegovoj obitelji, posebno majci, čestitao je župnik don Pavo, koji je radošću zbog ovog događaja i dirljivim riječima izmamio suze mnogih. Provincijal fra Miljenko čestitke je uputio fra Stanku, njegovoj obitelji, i cijeloj buhovskoj župi, ali i Hrvatskoj katoličkoj misiji u Zurichu odakle se fra Stanko prijavio u Provinciju. Potom je kratku zahvalu Gospodinu i svima koji su mu pomagali na putu do svećeništva izrekao sam mladomisnik, a nakon zahvale isto tako je zamolio za oprost sve kojima u međusobnim susretima nije pokazao ljubav. Na kraju su trojica mladomisnika podijelila mladomisnički blagoslov. Napisao/la: Miriam
