Footballers and leaders of the “Croatian Volunteer” Club assisted at Mass for Stepjan Spajic, the departed former President of their club, in St. James’ Parish Church in Medjugorje on Friday, March 3rd, 2006. The Eucharistic celebration was concelebrated by 10 priests, presided over by the Parish Priest, Dr. Fr. Ivan Sesar. One hundred and ten of the senior, junior and novice members of the football club were present in the church. After Mass, the Parish Priest offered them a statue of Our Lady, together with some wooden rosaries, as a permanent souvenir of Medjugorje. On the previous day, all the players and leaders of the club climbed the Hill of Our Lady’s apparitions. (photos) At the end of February and the beginning of March 2006, nine priests from the Philippines, members of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity, came to Medjugorje to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their priestly ordination. This pilgrimage was led by Fr. Alejandre Vergara, SOLT, Regional Priest Servant. The Society was founded in 1958 in the USA, and its membership is comprised of priests, religious women, married deacons and families. On the 25th. and 26th. of February, the junior teams, both younger and older, of the F.C. Primosten (Croatia), came for a training session to Medjugorje. They were accompanied by M. Slobodan Jurin, the President of the Club. During their stay in Medjugorje, they also played two games, one versus F.C. Medjugorje and the other versus F.C. Zeljeznicar from Sarajevo. The young football players also gained spiritual refreshment from their stay in Medjugorje: they climbed the Apparition Hill together,and because of the strong impression Medjugorje made on them,they expressed a wish that next time they would like to spend a full week training there, both playing and praying. On Sunday, February 26th. 2006, during the evening Mass at 6 pm, members of the Franciscan Youth Fraternity from Medjugorje (FRAMA) celebrated the rite of professing their vows. This is an event of the greatest significance for any Fraternity. On that day, 43 young men and women became members of the Fraternity. (photos) The 13th International meeting for Guides and Leaders of Peace Centers and Medjugorje Prayer, Pilgrim and Charity Groups will take place in Medjugorje from the 5th. to 9th. of March, 2006. The theme of this encounter is: “You shall be my witnesses to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1,8) In the parish church during Lent, from Ash Wednesday (March 1st) to Passion Sunday (April 9th), after the evening Mass in each case, we will pray the Way of the Cross on Fridays (replacing the Veneration of the Cross) and again on Sundays (replacing the prayer for health of body and soul and the third Rosary). The Way of the Cross on Cross Mountain will continue as usual, every Friday at 2 pm. In the beginning of February 2006, a group of a hundred students from the Catholic Franciscan University in Steubenville (USA) came on pilgrimage to Medjugorje. Dave Pivonka, TOR, a Third Order Franciscan, and Vice-President of the University, accompanied this pilgrimage. The 11th International Seminar for Priests will be held in Međugorje from 3 to 8 July 2006. The topic of the seminar is: «Spirituality of priest» («... Let us pray, little children,..., so that the Church may resurrect in love...», from the message of 25 March 1999) You may make reservations by e-mail: seminar.marija@medjugorje.hr, or by fax: +387-36-651-999 (for Marija Dugandzic). On the 10th. of February, the Feast of Blessed Cardinal Stepinac, Medjugorje Parish commemorates the martyrdom of the Franciscans who were either born in Medjugorje or who had worked in the parish. David Ianni, Pianist and Composer from Luxembourg, came to Medjugorje, in order to begin the New Year 2006 in prayer. He came with the Catholic Community “Amici di Dio” from Austria. (See: http://www.amicididio.com) A Religious-Humanitarian Association “Dear children, Pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit so that, in the spirit of love, every day and in each situation, you may be closer to your fellow man; and that in wisdom and love, you may overcome every difficulty. I am with you and I intercede for each of you before Jesus… Thank you for having responded to my call!” (Message of May 25, 2000) The religious-humanitarian association “Medjugorje-Mir Split” was established in 1992 as a continuation of the activities of the Medjugorje Parish Caritas. In order to improve communication with the world, the need to have a Medjugorje Parish Caritas Office in Split became apparent as soon as the war began. After functioning well for several months, it became obvious that it would be appropriate to register the Association in Croatia, to further improve the smooth resolution of customs formalities, and to create better communication links with administration. This is how the Association Medjugorje – Mir was founded, whose director and spiritual advisor was the late Fr. Leonard Orec. Mons. Thomas Msusa, Bishop of Zomba in Malawi, came to Medjugorje in November 2005 together with Mons. Allan Chamgwera, his retired predecessor, and with Mons. Remi Joseph Gustave Saint-Marie, Bishop of Dedza. In January 2006, the Information Centre “MIR” Medjugorje began publishing the Medjugorje-monthly named “Glasnik mira” – “The Messenger of Peace”. For almost fifteen years, on a monthly basis, our readers received “Glas mira” – “The Voice of Peace”. Insofar as it was possible in the prevailing circumstances, this magazine followed, reported, and promoted the spirituality that emanates from the event that happened here one late afternoon on June 24, 1981. For fifteen years, more exactly since the fall of atheistic communism, we had the occasion to put in writing, to follow, to make our own and to live the spirituality that was born here. This monthly publication was, and remains, a permanent monument to a decisive period in the history of the world, of the Catholic Church and of this parish which, through the plan of Providence, was brought into the very centre of world attention and of Christ’s Church. On Thursday, January 19, 2006, eleven priests from different Portuguese parishes came to the Shrine of the Queen of Peace in Medjugorje. In the Parish House, they met Dr. Fr. Ivan Sesar, the pastor, with whom they spoke about the international dimension of this parish and about Portuguese pilgrims coming to this place of prayer. They expressed the desire to come again, both individually, and with their faithful. During the last year, declared by the Holy Father as the Year of the Eucharist, there was a whole-night silent adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in the parish church. The same arrangement will apply in the year ahead.

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. Početkom ožujka 2006. na hodočašću u Međugorju boravio je Manoj Sunny, po zanimanju inženjer, međunarodni koordinator katoličkog misionarskog pokreta za mladež «Jesus Youth» iz Indije (Kerala). Pratio ga je George Ettiyil, član organizacije, inače ravnatelj ispostave Lufthanse u zračnoj luci Chenay. Od 6. do 8. ožujka 2006, u Međugorju je boravila ekipa francuske katoličke televizije KTO koju je predvodio Richard Boutry, ravnatelj informativnog programa. Došli su snimiti dokumentarnu emisiju pod naslovom «Medjugorje, analiza jednog fenomena» koja okuplja svjedočanstva osoba s francuskog jezičnog područja koje već duže vremena rade s hodočasnicima. Pokušat će odgovoriti na slijedeća pitanja: Zašto takva ukazanja, kome, kako? Koje su poruke? Zašto Medjugorje doživljava takav rast? Što traže hodočasnici? Zašto Sveta Stolica još nije izrazila svoje stajalište? Nogometaši i čelnici Hrvatskog Dragovoljca u župnoj crkvi sv. Jakova u Međugorju nazočili su u petak 3. ožujka 2006. misi zadušnici za svog pokojnog bivšeg predsjednika kluba Stjepana Spajića i sve poginule hrvatske branitelje. Uz koncelebraciju desetak svećenika, euharistijsko slavlje predvodio je međugorski župnik dr. fra Ivan Sesar. Na misi je bilo nazočno 110. seniora, juniora i kadeta ovog nogometnog kluba. Nakon mise u ime župnog ureda međugorski župnik je čelništvu kluba uručio Gospin kip i drvene krunice koje će ih trajno podsjećati na Međugorje. Dan ranije svi igrači i čelnici kluba uspeli se na Podbrdo - mjesto Gospina ukazanja. (photos) Krajem veljače i početkom ožujka 2006, devet svećenika kongregacije Naše Gospe od Presvetog Trojstva s Filipina došlo je u Međugorje proslaviti desetu obljetnicu svećeničkog ređenja. Ovo hodočašće predvodi O. Alejandre Vergara, SOLT, filipinski provincijal te kongregacije osnovane 1958. god. u SAD, a čiji su članovi svećenici, časne sestre, oženjeni đakoni, laici i obitelji. U nedjelju, 26. veljače 2006, pod večernjom svetom misom u 18 sati, franjevačka mladež (FRAMA) iz Međugorja slavila je obred primanja i obećanja. To je najvažniji događaj u jednom bratstvu Frame. Obredom primanja 43 mladih su postali novi članovi Frame. (photos) Koncem veljače, 25. i 26., u Međugorju su na pripremama boravili mlađi i stariji pioniri NK Primošten. Vodio ih je predsjednik kluba gospodin Slobodan Jurin. Za boravka u Međugorju odigrali su i dvije utakmice, s NK Međugorje i NK Željezničar iz Sarajeva. Mladi igrači iskoristili su i za duhovnu okrjepu: zajednički su posjetili Brdo ukazanja te kazali kako će iduće godine školski raspust iskoristiti za jednotjedne pripreme i molitvu u mjestu koje je na njih ostavilo snažan dojam. Trinaesti međunarodni susret voditelja centara mira, molitvenih i karitativnih skupina vezanih za Međugorje održat će se u Međugorju od 5. do 9. ožujka 2006. godine. Tema susreta je: ...bit ćete mi svjedoci...sve do kraja zemlje... (Dj 1, 8) U Korizmi, od Pepelnice 1. ožujka do Cvjetnice 9. travnja, u župnoj crkvi sv. Jakova molit će se Put križa poslije večernje Svete mise svakog petka (umjesto čašćenja Križa) i svake nedjelje (umjesto molitve za zdravlje duše i tijela i treće krunice). Put križa na Križevcu i dalje se održava svakog petka u 14 sati. Početkom veljače 2006. u Međugorju je boravila skupina od 100 studenata s Katoličkog franjevačkog sveučilišta Steubenville (SAD). Hodočašće je pratio o. Dave Pivonka, TOR, franjevac trećoredac, potpredsjednik Sveučilišta. Jedanaesti međunarodni seminar za svećenike održat će se u Međugorju od 3. do 8. srpnja 2006. Tema seminara je: «Duhovnost svećenika» («...Molimo, dječice,..., da bi Crkva uskrsnula u ljubavi...» iz poruke od 25. ožujka 1999.) Svoje prijave možete izvršiti putem e-maila seminar.marija@medjugorje.hr, ili putem faxa na broj 00387 36 651 999 (za Mariju Dugandžić). 10. veljače, na blagdan blaženog kardinala Alojzija Stepinca, u župi Međugorje redovito se slavi spomen na mučeničku smrt franjevaca koji su rođeni u Međugorju ili su u ovoj župi pastoralno djelovali. David Ianni, pijanist i skladatelj iz Luksemburga, bio je u Međugorju da bi Novu 2006. godinu započeo u molitvi. Na hodočašće je došao s katoličkom zajednicom «Amici di Dio» iz Austrije. (Vidi: http://www.amicididio.com) Vjersko – humanitarna udruga “Draga djeco! "... molite za darove Duha Svetoga, da u duhu ljubavi budete svakim danom i u svakoj situaciji bliže bratu čovjeku i da u mudrosti i ljubavi nadvladate svaku poteškoću. Ja sam s vama i zagovaram svakog od vas pred Isusom." (Poruka, 25. svibnja 2000. Vjersko – humanitarna udruga “Međugorje – Mir” osnovana je 1992. godine kao nastavak aktivnosti Caritasa Župnog ureda Međugorje. Na samom početku rata, radi lakšeg komuniciranja sa svijetom pojavila se potreba otvaranja ureda župnog Caritasa Međugorje u Splitu. Nakon nekoliko mjeseci uspješnog rada kao karitativne međugorske organizacije uvidjelo se da bi, zbog lakše i uspješnije suradnje sa carinskim i drugim nadležnim organima bilo uputnije osnovati ured registriran u Republici Hrvatskoj. Tako je osnovana udruga Međugorje - Mir, čiji je ravnatelj i duhovni voditelj bio pok. fra Leonard Oreč. Mons. Thomas Msusa, biskup Zombe u Malaviju, boravio je u Međugorju u studenom 2005. S njim je na hodočašće došao i njegov umirovljeni prethodnik mons. Allan Chamgwera, te mons. Remi Joseph Gustave Saint-Marie, biskup u biskupiji Dedza.
