Medjugorje, August 1 – 6, 2012 „Lord, increase our faith” On Wednesday, July 25, we are celebrating Feast of St. James, patron saint of Medjugorje parish. Holy Masses in the parish church are at 7, 8 and 7 p.m., while the central celebration will take place at 7 p.m. in the Garden and Fr. Stanko Dodig, Franciscan Capuchin, born in Medjugorje, will be the main celebrant. There will be procession from the church at 10.45 a.m. People from hamlets Čilići and Šege will be carrying the Statue this year. The prayer programme is according to the regular schedule, Rosary at 6 p.m. and Holy Mass at 7 p.m. Parish of Medjugorje was founded in 1892 and consecrated to St. James, patron saint of pilgrims. Around twenty members of Franciscan Youth from Sesvetske Sopnice were in Medjugorje from July 14-15, 2012, with their spiritual assistant Fr. Stipo Karajica. The President and Vice President of Franciscan Youth Josip and Marija Tolic, as well as Fr. Stipo were guests at radio station “Mir” Medjugorje. “This is a pilgrimage and spiritual retreat of Franciscan Youth and young people from our parish. This is something we have arranged half a year ago. The young people have readily accepted this programme and the most important part is the Eucharistic one”, said Fr. Stipo. Franciscan Youth from Sesvetska Sopnica was recently founded. On June 10, 2012, young people were celebrating ceremony of being received into fraternity. That is how another fraternity became alive and the number of Franciscan Youth in Zgreb town was increased. Bishop Msgr. Venant Bacinoni, bishop from Diocese of Bururi in Burundi, was in Medjugorje from July 1st to July 9, 2012. This was his first visit to Medjugorje. He first came to Belgium and his friends from Belgium invited him to come to Medjugorje with them, as a pilgrim. “This is one really good experience for me, I can see people praying, and they pray from the heart, you can see that they came here because of prayer and not because of something else. This is where one sees fruits. People come to pray, they participate in the Holy Eucharist, and they receive sacraments. This is also where they meet in friendship and in dialogue, this is really something good. We had really heavy civil war in Burundi that lasted for more than 15 years and this message of peace is really important for me and for our people as well. We cannot have peace without prayer, without hope and without help of Our Lady and God. This is the message that I am going to take from Medjugorje”, said bishop from Burundi. The 17th International Seminar for Priests that gathered more than 400 priests, deacons and seminarians from twenty countries began on Monday, July 9th, in Medjugorje with the liturgical evening prayer programme.

The 17th International Priests Seminar will be held in Međugorje From 9th to14th July 2012 on the theme of: ''Priest – man of faith'' SEMINAR PROGRAMME Members of Croatian Taekwondo National Team, 25 years old sisters Ana and Lucija Zaninovic, came to Medjugorje. Both sisters have received many national and international rewards for their achievements in sport and they have also qualified for the Olympic Games in London in July this year. At the moment, they are preparing in Skradin and decided to come to Medjugorje. This is not their first visit to Medjugorje. “We were really impressed by Medjugorje. We have recently seen some movies about the apparitions and we felt need to come. We were not able to come during the Anniversary and we came a few days later. This is where we find peace that we need so much, peace that only faith and the Church could give”, said Zaninovic sisters, who are about to have new sport challenges. Number of Holy Communions: 170.500 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 4199 (139 per day) After Medjugorje celebrated 31st anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions, many groups are still present on their pilgrimages and among them we met a group of pilgrims from Uganda. Fransis is bringing pilgrims from Uganda since 2005, and he brought 40 pilgrims on his first trip. They heard about Medjugorje from one Italian priest who spoke on Radio Maria in Uganda. “I had to take a map to look for this place and then I decided to bring a group of pilgrims together with a priest. It was hard for us to obtain visa since we do not have embassy in this country”, said Fransis. This year’s Anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions was solemnly celebrated in Medjugorje on Monday, June 25, 2012. Besides numerous pilgrims from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, there were organised groups of pilgrims from England, the United States, Portugal, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Italy, Romania, Switzerland, Uganda, Slovakia, China, France, Slovenia and Korea. Many of them arrived by usual transport means, while huge number of pilgrims walked to Medjugorje to fulfil their vows to the Queen of Peace and to thank her for graces they have received. (photos) The visionary Ivanka Ivankovic-Elez had her regular annual apparition on June 25th 2012. At Her last daily apparition on May 7, 1985, Our Lady confided to Ivanka the 10th secret and told her that she would have an apparition once a year on the anniversary of the apparitions. It was that way also this year. The apparition, which lasted 7 minutes, took place at Ivanka’s family home. Only Ivanka’s family was present at the apparition. After the apparition, Ivanka said: Our Lady spoke to me about the 5th secret and at the end said: "I am giving you my motherly blessing. Pray for peace, peace, peace." Thousands of pilgrims participated in this year’s Peace Walk that took place on the feast of St. John the Baptist, June 24th, just one day prior to the 31st Anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions. The Peace Walk started at 6 a.m. from the Monastery of St. Anthony in Humac and ended in front of the church of St. James in Medjugorje. The Guardian Priest of Humac Monastery, Fr. Velimir Mandić, blessed and greeted all pilgrims at the beginning of the Peace Walk. Prayers were said and hymns in the honour of the Queen of Peace were sung all the time during the Peace Walk, that arrived in front of the church around 9.30 a.m. Miljenko Steko met all of the pilgrims outside the church of St. James and conducted Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament as well as Benediction. The original initiator of this famous Peace Walk Hubert Liebherr started this walk. He was terrified with horrors of the war and he wanted to respond to Our Lady’s message when she said that with prayer of rosary even the wars could be stopped. Medjugorje will celebrate 31st Anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions on Monday, June 25th, 2012. The solemn Holy Mass on the Feast of St. John the Baptist, the eve of the Anniversary, will be celebrated at 7 p.m. and Fr. Ivan Dugandzic is going to be the main celebrant. Prayer of the Rosary on Apparition Hill will not take place on Sunday. After the evening prayer programme there will be Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Holy Masses on the Feast of the Anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions will take place at 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 a.m. and at 4 p.m. There will be opportunity for confession throughout the whole day. The central evening prayer programme will start at 6 p.m. with the Rosary and will continue with Holy Mass at 7.p.m. Ivan Sesar, the Provincial of Herzegovinian Franciscan Province will celebrate that Holy Mass, we kindly ask all drivers throughout Herzegovina to be extra careful due to the large number of pilgrims who will walk to Medjugorje. All those who are coming to Medjugorje are kindly asked to remain in peace and prayer at all times. In the week of Our Lady’s anniversary, the Information Office has registered groups from Germany, the United States, Italy, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Spain, Ireland, Venezuela, Sri Lanka, Poland, Singapore, Portugal and Lebanon. Each one of those pilgrims has his own story regarding Medjugorje phenomenon. Testimony of Fr. Oliver Devine from Ireland is an obvious proof of the grace that is poured on pilgrims who come to this place. He came to Medjugorje in 1985, for the first time, and he said: “This is where I receive new strength and new faith each time. I know that Medjugorje has influenced my vocation as a priest. Whenever people ask me why I decided to become a priest, I always tell them it was because of Medjugorje and because of what I felt here.” Our press members also met a group of 24 athletics who ran relay race from Bergamo, Italy to Medjugorje. Every person ran for 50 minutes and 4 campers accompanied them at all times. When they left Bergamo with lit torches, they all ran for the first mile together and they did the same during their last mile to Medjugorje. “When we entered Medjugorje, our sports adventure was finished and we started our spiritual journey”, said Marco Previtali from Bergamo, and this is his first visit to Medjugorje.

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.

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
