Damir Jug and Stjepan Bozic walked to Medjugorje from town called Velika Gorica at the north of Croatia. They started their pilgrimage on May 1st and arrived on the Ascension Thursday, May 13th. Damir came to Medjugorje for the first time, while Stjepan was coming to Medjugorje before in the past. “Every man has his own personal wishes and desires, we felt in our hearts that we need to come, and thanks to God and Our Lady, here we are. The journey was not easy, we were adjusting to every situation that we would encounter as we travelled.” They prayed before the Statue of Our Lady and climbed the hills despite the rain and difficult weather conditions. Apart from many pilgrims from Croatia, this Feast brought also pilgrims from Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, France, England, Ireland, United States, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and China.

Eucharistic adoration on Wednesday and Saturday is at 10.00 pm. Both the Rosary on Apparition Hill and the Way of the Cross on Krizevac begin at 4.00 pm. This period in which our Church celebrates the mystery of resurrection that lasts for fifty days was filled with many pilgrims in Medjugorje and press members from radio station “Mir” Medjugorje were able to find quite few interesting life experiences. Kim Yong Hwan, priest form Korea, said that he heard about Medjugorje in 2001 for the first time and in that year he was celebrating 25 years of his priesthood. At the same time, that was the year of great crisis for him, since he felt sort of spiritual emptiness in his vocation as a priest. He received invitation from Seoul Maria Centre to come to Medjugorje as a spiritual director to one of the groups, and he accepted and came to Medjugorje. The first eight days of the Easter season make up the Octave of Easter and are celebrated as Solemnities of the Lord. Although it rained nearly throughout the whole period, Medjugorje was still packed with various groups of pilgrims. Pilgrims from all over the world participated this week in 89 different Holy Mass celebrations in different languages as well as in evening prayer programme. Rome (IKA) – The Holy See Press Office published on April 13, 2010 report from the first session of International Investigative Commission on Medjugorje, held on March 26th,2010. International Investigative Commission on Medjugorje is being presided over by Cardinal Camillo Ruini, who used to be Vicar of Rome Diocese and includes several cardinals and archbishops, many of whom serve on Vatican congregations or Pontifical Councils. These members include, Cardinal Jozef Tomko, prefect emeritus of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples; Cardinal Vinko Puljic, Archbishop of Vrhbosna, and president of the Bishops' Conference of Bosnia-Herzegovina; Cardinal Josip Bozanic, Archbishop of Zagreb and vice-president of the Council of European Bishops' Conference; Cardinal Julian Herranz, president emeritus of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts and Archbishop Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. The center of the whole liturgical year is Christ’s Passion, Death and Resurrection, known as Paschal Mystery. That holy period before Easter was celebrated this year with participation of many parishioners, along with huge number of pilgrims from various countries that came to Medjugorje this Easter. Liturgical celebrations that began on Holy Thursday turned out the whole area around the church of St. James into huge prayer space.

Parish priest and the Franciscans (photos) Uskrsna cestitka - Fra Petar Vlasic Jim Caviezel played the main role in Mel Gibson’s movie “The Passion of Christ”, and became known throughout the whole world. The very moving presentation of the scourging and crucifixion of Jesus have permitted the passion of the Lord to become the initiator of many discussions about faith. A Viennese professor of Theology brought the criticism of the movie to the point: “ How can I accept that my sins are supposedly so great, that a man must bear so much suffering for me? Again and again we hear about conversions, which the spectators experienced while watching the movie. Who is this Jim Caviezel who was able to interpret Jesus in such an impressive way? In an Interview with the” Oase des Friedens “ he admits that without his experience in Medjugorje he would never have accepted this role. In Medjugorje he was granted a new dimension of faith. Christian Stelzer in Vienna held the Interview with Jim Caviezel, in February 2010.

Središte liturgijske godine jest Kristova Muka, Smrt i Uskrsnuće, u bogoslužju Crkve nazvano pashalnim ili vazmenim otajstvom. To sveto trodnevlje Krista raspetoga, pokopanog i uskrsloga, kao godišnje spomen – slavlje, u Međugorju je proslavljeno uz župljane te uz, dosad neviđen broj, domaćih i stranih hodočasnika. Liturgijska slavlja čitavi Veliki tjedan, a osobito tri dana - od večeri Velikoga četvrtka do uskrsne nedjelje, pretvorila su čitavi prostor oko crkve sv. Jakova u molitveni prostor. (slike) "Mir vama! Kao što je mene poslao Otac, tako i ja šaljem vas." (Evanđelje po Ivanu 20,21) Svim župljanima, hodočasnicima, prijateljima, dobročiniteljima i svim ljudima dobre volje Sretan i blagoslovljen Uskrs! Župnik i međugorski fratri (slike) Uskrsna cestitka - Fra Petar Vlasic Glavnom ulogom u filmu Mela Gibsona „Pasija“, Jim Caviezel postigao je svjetsku slavu. Tko je taj glumac koji se tako dojmljivo suživio s likom Isusovim? Osobno tvrdi da bez međugorskih iskustava nikada ne bi bio prihvatio tu ulogu. U Međugorju je, naime, iskusio jednu do tada nepoznatu dimenziju vjere. U veljači ove godine po šesti je puta hodočastio u Međugorje, a nakon toga posjetio i Beč. S njim je u Beču razgovor vodio Christian Stelzer za časopis „Oase des Friedens“, a hrvatski prijevod donosi najnoviji „Glasnik mira“ iz Međugorja. Broj podijeljenih sv. pričesti: 80.500 Broj svećenika koncelebranata: 1434 (46 dnevno) Velika Subota - Vazmeno bdijenje - 3. travnja – Na Veliku Subotu Crkva se zadržava kod Gospodinova groba u molitvi i postu.

U mnoštvu od dvije tisuće hodočasnika iz Austrije, koji su za Cvjetnicu pristigli na hodočašće u Međugorje, susreli smo i Aloisa Epnera, 79-godišnjeg umirovljenog učitelja iz Gornje Austrije. Djetinjstvo je proveo u rodnoj Hrvatskoj, a nakon Drugoga svjetskog rata, zajedno s mnogim sunarodnjacima, pred partizanima odlazi u Austriju. Alois je prvi put hodočastio u Međugorje 1984. i otada je neumoran Gospin hodočasnik. Cvjetnicom ili Nedjeljom Muke Gospodnje započinje Veliki tjedan, vrhunac priprave za svetkovinu Uskrsnuća Gospodinova. U Međugorju je, kao i dosadašnjih godina, liturgija Cvjetnice 28. ožujka započela na temeljima stare župne crkve u 10,30. U liturgijski predviđenoj procesiji, nakon čitanja evanđelja o ulasku Gospodinovu u Jeruzalem te blagoslova grančica, ministranti, čitači, pjevači, svećenici i puk Božji – župljani i hodočasnici, krenuli su prema vanjskome oltaru iza župne crkve gdje je u 11 sati slavljena sv. Misa Muke Gospodnje. Župljanima su se i ove godine pridružili brojni hodočasnici iz okolnih mjesta BiH, Hrvatske te iz Inozemstva, a osobito brojni bili su hodočasnici iz Austrije. Tijekom dana, osim na hrvatskome, slavljene su svete Mise i na španjolskom, flamanskom, engleskom, talijanskom i njemačkom jeziku. Mnoštvo hodočasnika pridružilo se i molitvenom zajedništvu krunice na Podbrdu u 14 sati. (slike) Korizmeni koncert „Miserere Nobis“ održan je u župnoj crkvi sv. Jakova apostola u Međugorju, uoči Cvjetnice, u subotu 27. ožujka u 19 sati. Na koncertu je sudjelovao Katedralni Oratorijski zbor - Mostar, pod ravnanjem maestra don Dragana Filipovića,koji redovito nastupa u mostarskoj katedrali, a pratio ih je i Simfonijski Orkestar - Mostar.

U razgovoru za radiopostaju „Mir“ Međugorje govorio je o svom životnom putu, mladenačkoj želji da postane svećenik, obitelji, vrijednostima, a o dojmovima u Međugorju kaže: „Izuzetno mi je zadovoljstvo biti ovdje ovih nekoliko dana. Osjećam se fantastično, lijepo. Nije mi ovo prvi put, ali sam prvi put ovako dugo. Osjećam se duhovno ispunjenim kao i toliki svijet koji dolazi ovdje u Međugorje. Najveća hrvatska pisanica, „Pisanica od srca“ - uskrsno jaje visine 2,05 m, širine 1,5 m, s postoljem teškim 120 kg, dar Koprivničko-križevačke županije – postavljena je ispred međugorske župne crkve, u ponedjeljak 22. ožujka.

Nadbiskup je u intervjuu za Radio Mir iz Međugorja i Večernji list na poseban način želio ukazati na važnost velikoga tjedna i potrebe priprave vjernika za najveći katolički blagdan. Vidjelica Mirjana DragićeviĆ-Soldo imala je svakodnevna ukazanja od 24. lipnja 1981. do 25. prosinca 1982. Na posljednjem svakodnevnom ukazanju Gospa je, povjerivši joj desetu tajnu, rekla da će joj se ukazivati jedanput godišnje i to 18. ožujka. Tako je i bilo tijekom svih ovih godina. Više tisuća hodočasnika okupilo se na molitvi krunice kod Plavog Križa. Ukazanje je započelo u 13:50 h i trajalo do 13:54 h.
