Members of football club Dinamo from Zagreb, Croatia, together with their President Mirko Barišić and Coach Kruno Juričić, spent some time in Međugorje, preparing for the forthcoming spring season. Along with regular sports activities, members of this leading Premier league club were also participating in one day spiritual retreat that Međugorje Franciscans organised for them on January 22. First, they all climbed Apparition Hill and prayed Rosary, then talk was given to them and day finished with Holy Mass that was celebrated for them in Adoration chapel. As one of the most common sacraments in Međugorje is sacrament of Holy Confession, they also had chance for either confession or spiritual talk with one of Međugorje Franciscans. Besides members of Dinamo football club, Međugorje is hosting other Croatian football clubs as well, and their members are also participating in regular prayer programme of this famous parish. (photos) Members of Franciscan youth (FRAMA) of Međugorje parish had the ceremony of promises and incorporation into Franciscan youth that took place on Sunday, January 24th during the evening Holy Mass at 6 p.m. that was celebrated by Fr. Marinko Šakota. Danko Perutina, spiritual assistant of Medjugorje Franciscan Youth was present as well. 63 members of Franciscan Youth gave their promise for the first time, or repeated the promises given in the past. Franciscan Youth from Humac, Ljubuški accompanied this ceremony with their singing, and there were members from different parishes as well, such as Čerin, Čitluk, Drinovci, Gorica, Sovići, Ružići and others. On Thursday, January 21, 2009 at 6.p.m. Holy Mass was celebrated in Međugorje parish church for late Međugorje parish priest and for all departed priests who used to serve in Međugorje parish. Concelebrated Holy Mass was led by Fr. Miljenko Šteko who, as he quoted verses of 56th Psalm, amongst other things said the following: “All is written in the Book of God. Even according to that Book, we ourselves are counting this period since we are no longer in the presence of our late priest brothers, and exactly today we celebrate eight years since our late Međugorje parish priest Dr. Fr. Leonard Orec died. He was born in Posuški Gradac in 1928, and met with his “Sister Death” in 2002 in Zagreb. His days were counted down in his 74th year of life, 55th year of ordination and 51st year of priesthood, little after his celebration of Golden Jubilee – 50 years of priesthood! His earthly remains are waiting for the resurrection of the death in Franciscan grave in Posušje. From Vecernji List daily newspaper for Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina “Medjugorje is again in the center of attention, church and public as well. Though the visit of Cardinal Shonborn is private, it did not leave anybody indifferent because he is the member of Congregation for Doctrine of Faith. We talked to Cardinal while he was visiting Medjugorje. “We came here to be close to the Lord’s mother”, you said during the Christmas Eve Mass, Your Eminence. These words had a great echo. We would like you to explain them?” Cardinal: “We cannot deny that pilgrims have been coming over here for the past 20 years, as we can not deny what they experience in Medjugorje and how close they feel to the Blessed Mother. This is my first visit, but since I’ve been a Bishop since 1991. I have simply noticed the fruits of Medjugorje. Max Domej from Gebetsktion Wien spoke to Cardinal Christoph Schonborn, Archbishop of Vienna, during his visit to Međugorje. Both in Lourdes and Fatima the events first ceased and than Church had its decision about that. Its final decision. Sooner or later that will take place here as well, but in this case we let Mother of God with freedom of choice... I think that Medjugorje can continue well on their journey, with full trust that Church, Mother and Teacher, in this case, is going to continue to monitor their journey. Martin Pero Boras, aged 55 and born in Hardomilje, Ljubuski, died in Clinical Hospital Centre in Mostar on Wednesday, January 13, 2010 after being very ill for a short period of time. Prof. Boras was Music Professor to many generations of Franciscans in Seminary and Novice in Humac, he was also music teacher in many schools in the area, and many groups of Franciscan Youth FRAMA were under his guidance throughout Herzegovina, as well as in Medjugorje. He was especially famous and well known for his leadership and professional guidance of International Choir and Orchestra for Youth Festival and New Year’s Eve in Medjugorje. He was married and had four children. His funeral will take place at 2 p.m. on Friday, January 15, cemetery Zabari, Humac parish. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace! Dear brothers and sisters here in the church and on the squares in front of the church, and in the yellow hall... We are all conscious of the fact that it is a big privilege to not have to celebrate the New Year with champagne. (laughter) Maybe later. (laughter and applause) But now we are allowed to celebrate the beginning of the New Year with Mary and Joseph and with the child that is lying in the manger and with the shepherds. These days, we have all come to Medjugorje to be especially close to the Mother of the Lord. To be more exact, we have to say that we have come here because we know that the Mother of the Lord wants to be close to us. With her, we want to begin the New Year. And the first thing that moves me when I think about the manger and the shepherds is that there were no angels present. Here there is an angel at the nativity set (points), but in the gospel there are no angels there. They were on the hills with the shepherds. An entire host of angels. But Mary and Joseph only heard about it. The shepherds told them. We also didn't see the Gospa. But there are people here who told about it. And we trust that the Mother of God really is close to us.

Parish Office of Medjugorje Information Centre “Mir” Medjugorje (photos) 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 2:35 pm and lasted 12 minutes. On 4th Sunday of Advent, December 20, Medjugorje Children Choir “Doves of peace” had their traditional Christmas concert in the church of St. James, under guidance of Sr. Slavica Kozul.

As in every previous year, Maestro Delo Jusic, famous musician and composer from Dubrovnik, conducted the concert. At the beginning of concert, parish priest Fr. Petar Vlasic greeted children, their parents and everybody present, and amongst other said the following: “Dear children, you with your singing in this Christmas time are announcing quick coming and birthday of Jesus Christ. Christmas is a feast of love, joy and our little doves are saying that to us in their songs. We prepare for Christmas with prayer, fasting, song. Let us sing to one another, let us rejoice to one another.” (photo)

U srijedu, 25. srpnja, je svetkovina sv. Jakova - zaštitnika župe Međugorje. Svete mise su u župnoj crkvi u 7, 8 i 19 sati, a središnja proslava - svečana sveta misa je u 11 sati u Gaju, a predslavi je fra Stanko Dodig, franjevac kapucin, rodom iz župe Međugorje. Procesija s kipom kreće iz crkve u 10, 45 sati. Ove godine će kip nositi Čilići i Šege. Molitveni program je redovit kao svaku večer, molitva krunice je u 18 sati, a sv. Misa u 19 sati. Župa Međugorje utemeljena je 1892. godine i od svoga osnutka posvećena je sv. Jakovu, zaštitniku hodočasnika. 20-ak framaša iz Sesvetske Sopnice boravili su u Međugorju s duhovnim asistentom fra Stipom Karajicom 14. i 15. srpnja 2012. Predsjednik i potpredsjednica Frame Josip i Marija Tolić te fra Stipo su gostovali na radiopostaji Mir Međugorje. ''Ovo je hodočašće i duhovna obnova Franjevačke mladeži i mladih naše župe. To smo dogovorili prije pola godine. Mladi su spremno prihvatili program, a najvažniji nam je euharistijski dio''-kazao je fra Stipo. Frama Sesvetska Sopnica nije davno počela s djelovanjem. 10. lipnja 2012. mladi su prvi put slavili obred primanja u bratstvo Franjevačke mladeži. Tako je počelo živjeti i djelovati još jedno bratstvo Frame u Područnom bratstvu, te se povećao broj Frama grada Zagreba. U Međugorju je od 1. do 9. srpnja 2012. boravio biskup Mgr Venant Bacinoni, biskup u biskupiji Bururi u Burundiju. Ovo mu je prvi posjet Međugorju. Došao je najprije u Belgiju, i njegovi su ga prijatelji iz Belgije pozvali da dođe s njima u Međugorje kao hodočasnik. ''Ovo je za mene jedno dobro iskustvo, vidim ljude kako mole, mole iz srca, vidite da su došli ovamo zbog molitve, a ne zbog drugih stvari. Ovdje se vide plodovi. Ljudi dolaze moliti, sudjeluju u euharistiji, primaju sakramente, također se susreću u prijateljstvu i dijalogu, to je zaista dobra stvar. U Burundiju smo imali jako težak građanski rat koji je trajao duže od 15 godina i ova poruka mira za mene je jako, jako važna, za naš narod također. Mi ljudi ne možemo imati mir bez molitve, bez vjere, bez nade, bez Gospine pomoći i Božje pomoći. To je poruka koju nosim iz Međugorja''-kazao je biskup iz Burundija. Sedamnaesti međunarodni seminar za svećenike u Međugorju, na kojemu se okupilo više od 400 biskupa, svećenika, đakona i bogoslova iz 20-ak zemalja, završio je u subotu, 14. srpnja. Seminar je započeo u ponedjeljak 9. srpnja 2012., večernjim molitveno liturgijskim programom, a misno slavlje otvorenja predslavio je dr. fra Ivan Sesar, provincijal Hercegovačke franjevačke provincije iz Mostara, u suslavlju predavača dr. fra Ivana Dugandžića i koordinatora dr. fra Miljenka Šteku, te svećenika sudionika seminara.

Ovi međunarodni susreti započeli su u ljeto 1996., kao odgovor na zahtjeve samih svećenika, te prerasli u redovita godišnja okupljanja svećenika. 17. međunarodni seminar za svećenike održat će se u Međugorju od 9. do 14. srpnja 2012. Tema seminara je: "SVEĆENIK -ČOVJEK VJERE" PROGRAM SEMINARA Hrvatske taekwondo reprezentativke, 25-godišnje sestre Ana i Lucija Zaninović boravile su u Međugorju. Obje sestre dobitnice su mnogih hrvatskih i međunarodnih priznanja, a plasmanom na olimpijskim kvalifikacijama osigurale su nastup hrvatske teakwondo reprezentacije na Olimpijskim igrama u Londonu koje počinju krajem srpnja 2012. Trenutno su na pripremama u Skradinu, pa ih je put doveo u Međugorje. Nije im ovo prvi posjet Međugorju. ''Jako nas se dojmilo Međugorje. Nedavno smo gledali filmove o ukazanju, osjetile smo potrebu da dođemo. Nismo mogle kad je bila 31.godišnjica, došle smo par dana kasnije. Tu nađemo neki mir, koji nam je potreban, mir koji ti može dati vjera i Crkva''-kazale su sestre Zaninović koje očekuju novi nastupi. Broj podijeljenih sv. pričesti: 170.500 Broj svećenika koncelebranata: 4199 (139 dnevno) Uz hodočasnike iz brojnih država svijeta, u Međugorju nakon proslave 31. obljetnice borave i hodočasnici iz Ugande. Fransis dovodi hodočasnike iz ove zemlje u Međugorje od 2005. Tada je s njim došlo 40-ak hodočasnika. O Međugorju je čuo od talijanskog svećenika na radio Mariji u Ugandi. ''Morao sam uzeti kartu i potražiti ovo mjesto. Poslije toga sam odlučio dovesti skupinu s jednim svećenikom. Bio je problem dobiti vizu, jer nemamo veleposlanstvo za ovu zemlju''- kazao je Fransis s kojim je u skupini i Frederik Deogratias Musaazi koji nam je kazao o svojim dojmovima Međugorja: ''Moj prvi dojam je bio uvjerenje ljudi u Gospinu prisutnost. Ljudi ovdje toliko vjeruju, bio sam jako inspiriran zajedno s ljudima s kojima sam došao. Kad sam se vratio u Ugandu, obećao sam Majci Mariji da ću govoriti o njoj u cijeloj Ugandi, da ću širiti ime Majke Božje. Obljetnica Gospinih ukazanja i ove je godine svečano obilježena u Međugorju, u ponedjeljak 25. lipnja 2012., uz brojne hodočasnike sa svih kontinenata. Osim domaćih hodočasnika iz Hrvatske i Bosne i Hercegovine, u Međugorju su u većim organiziranim skupinama boravili i hodočasnici iz Engleske, SAD-a, Portugala, Irske, Njemačke, Austrije, Češke, Poljske, Ukrajine, Italije, Rumunjske, Švicarske, Ugande, Slovačke,Kine,Francuske, Slovenije, Koreje. Osim uobičajenim prometnim sredstvima prijevoza, zamjetljiv broj hodočasnika u Međugorje je pristigao pješice, kako bi ispunili svoje zavjete Kraljici mira i zahvalili za udijeljene milosti. (slike) Vidjelica Ivanka Ivanković Elez imala je redovito godišnje ukazanje 25. lipnja 2012. 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 7 minuta, Ivanka je imala u svojoj obiteljskoj kući. Ukazanju je bila nazočna samo Ivankina obitelj. Nakon ukazanja vidjelica Ivanka je rekla: Gospa mi je govorila o 5. tajni i na kraju je rekla: „Dajem vam svoj majčinski blagoslov. Molite za mir, mir, mir“ I ove godine na svetkovinu sv. Ivana Krstitelja, u nedjelju 24. lipnja 2012. i na uočnicu 31. obljetnice Gospinih ukazanja tisuće hodočasnika sudjelovalo je na 21. hodnji mira, koja je iza 6h krenula od samostana sv. Ante na Humcu do župne crkve sv. Jakova u Međugorju. Nakon pozdravnoga govora hodočasnike je na vanjskom oltaru crkve sv Ante na Humcu blagoslovio križem humački gvardijan fra Velimir Mandić. Uz molitvu i pjesmu u čast Kraljice mira pristigli su pred međugorsku župnu crkvu sv. Jakova oko 9h i 30min gdje ih je dočekao fra Miljenko Šteko. Potom su sudionici Hodnje mira i drugi nazočni vjernici sudjelovali u pobožnosti klanjanja Isusu u Presvetom Oltarskom Sakramentu. Hodnju mira je 1992. pokrenuo Njemac Hubert Liebherr. On je, zgrožen nemirima na ovim prostorima, zajedno s još nekoliko prijatelja Međugorja iz inozemstva, pokrenuo ovu Hodnju, vjerujući Gospinim riječima da se krunicom i ratovi mogu zaustaviti. Međugorje će u ponedjeljak, 25. lipnja 2012. proslaviti 31. obljetnicu Gospinih ukazanja. Na Uočnicu, blagdan sv. Ivana Krstitelja, u nedjelju 24. lipnja, u 6 sati ujutro započinje tradicionalna međunarodna Hodnja Mira od samostana sv. Ante na Humcu do župne crkve sv. Jakova u Međugorju. Dolazak pred župnu crkvu predviđen je oko 10 sati. Svete mise toga dana na hrvatskome jeziku su u 7, 8, 11 i večernja svečana misa Uočnice u 19 sati, koju će predslaviti fra Ivan Dugandžić. Neće biti molitve krunice na Podbrdu. Navečer od 22 do 5 sati ujutro bit će pobožnost Klanjanja Isusu u Presvetome Oltarskom Sakramentu. Na dan obljetnice 25. lipnja misna slavlja na hrvatskome jeziku bit će slavljena u 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 i 16 sati. Prigoda za sakrament pomirenja je tijekom cijeloga dana. Središnji večernji molitveno-liturgijski program započinje u 18 sati molitvom krunice i nastavlja se misnim slavljem u 19 sati koje će predslaviti fra Ivan Sesar, provincijal Hercegovačke franjevačke provincije. Mole se svi vozači koji ovih dana prometuju cestama Hercegovine da budu pozorni radi pješaka hodočasnika, a sve one koji dolaze u Međugorje da budu u istinskom duhovnom i molitvenom ozračju. Međugorje se pripravlja za proslavu 31. obljetnice Gospinih ukazanja, uz župljane, domaće i strane hodočasnike. U petak 15. lipnja 2012. počela je Devetnica. Svaki dan u 16 sati moli se Krunica na Brdu ukazanja - Podbrdu. Večernji molitveno - liturgijski program počinje u 18 sati molitvom Krunice i nastavlja se sv. Misom u 19 sati. Ured informacija u tjednu prije godišnjice bilježi skupine hodočasnika iz: Njemačke, SAD-a, Italije, Ukrajine, Češke, Slovačke, Španjolske, Irske, Venezuele, Šri Lanke, Poljske, Singapura, Portugala i Libanona. Svatko od ovih hodočasnika ima svoju povijest vezanu uz Međugorje. Kao ogledna stvarnost povijesti milosti može nam poslužiti i životna priča svećenika Olivera Devine, koji je ovih dana došao sa skupinom iz Irske. I ove godine za obljetnicu Gospinih ukazanja u Međugorju, 31. po redu, međugorski župljani i hodočasnici pripravljat će se devetnicom koja počinje u petak, 15. lipnja 2012. Svaki dan u 16 sati moli se Krunica na Brdu ukazanja - Podbrdu. Večernji molitveno - liturgijski program započinje u 18 sati molitvom Krunice, sv. Misa je u 19 sati. Devetnica je prigoda osobite zahvale Bogu za sve milosti udijeljene preko Nebeske Majke proteklu 31 godinu.
