The audience was thrilled after all these wonderful performances. (photos) On Wednesday, December 24, we are celebrating Christmas Eve, when at 6 a.m. the final early Holy Mass was celebrated. The Rosary on Apparition Hill and Novena there was also completed yesterday, while the evening prayer programme begins with Rosary at 5 p.m. Confessions will be held from 4.00-5.30 p.m. as all of the priests need to be ready for the evening Holy Mass when they will all concelebrate. The performance of the live nativity scene will be held after the evening Holy Mass. The Christmas Prayer Vigil begins at 10 p.m. until 11.20. The Midnight Holy Mass begins at 11.30 p.m. Cenacolo community has been preparing and performing live nativity scenery for the last couple of years in Medjugorje for all the parishioners and pilgrims who are coming here. Scenery is made of stable, inn, citizens of Betlehem, cattle, real costumes and amateur actors who are in the role of the Holy Family, as well as three kings from the East and shepherds. Live nativity scene performance will be held on Christmas Eve and on December 28, Feast of Holy Innocents. Along with the usual prayer programme, there will be Holy Mass at 3 p.m. for parents and their children, and live nativity scene will follow immediately afterwards. Parish of Medjugorje is preparing for the Feast of Christmas with the early Holy Masses held at 6 a.m., and Novena on Apparition Hill began on Monday, December 15, with the Rosary at 2 p.m. Early Holy Masses are broadcasted live on radio Mir Medjugorje. The members of Cenacolo community have been preparing the scenery outside the church of St. James for the last few weeks, so all could be set and ready for two performances that will be held in Christmas season. What is new this year is that the main choir of the parish will be singing during those performances. The Franciscan Youth led by their spiritual guide, Fr. Stanko Cosic, prepared this year praiseworthy Advent humanitarian action by selling Ade nt decorations and Christmas cards in the church yard. All of the money from sale will be used for those who are in need, so their Christmas would be as blessed and joyful as possible. The members of the Franciscan Youth have made early Holy Masses more special and beautiful with their singing and reading. Two pilgrims, Luis Garcia and Marina, from Spain came to Medjugorje by bicycles. This is their first time to Medjugorje. Luis said: “We are on pilgrimage from Spain to Jerusalem. God wanted us to visit Medjugorje. We were always in the hands of God and Blessed Virgin Mary who protected us all the way. She wanted us to be here. I heard of Our Lady of Medjugorje thanks to one pilgrim who knew Medjugorje and that inflamed fire in my heart. She wanted me to visit all of the Marian shrines in Europe. Out of all of shrines that I visited, this is the most beautiful place and made the deepest impression on me. I am proud to be here and I will be back”, said Luis that Marina on the road of St. James. “That was God’s plan because for two years I asked from God to show me person that I could do this project with. It is a great blessing that we are here. I feel relieved from the burden I carried.” On Monday, December 15, 2014, Novena to the Birth of Christ will begin in Medjugorje. Every day throughout the nine days there will be Rosary on Apparition Hill at 2 p.m. That is why next Friday we will not pray the usual Way of the Cross on Cross Mountain, instead there will be Rosary on Apparition Hill. The evening prayer programme is according to the ordinary schedule, Rosary at 5 p.m. and Holy Mass at 6 .m., followed by the regular programme. Throughout Advent, except on Sundays, early Holy Masses are celebrated at 6 a.m. celebrated by Medjugorje Franciscans. There is the opportunity for confessions every morning at 5.30 before Holy Mass and during the evening prayer programme. All parishioners are invited to prepare through these events for the celebration of the birth of Christ. As a part of preparation for celebration of St. James Feast, patron saint of Medjugorje, there was the scientific symposium held on Fr. Stanko Vasilj. On Friday, December 12, 2014, after the evening Holy Mass, there was the Collection of works on Fr. Stanko Vasilj that was introduced mainly with the works presented during that symposium that at the same time contains all his written works. Stanko’s music heritage was introduced, his notes that were gathered in the Collection of Selected Poems, Hymns and Holy Masses. Stanko was very recognisable personality in the second half of the 20th century in the Province of Herzegovinian Franciscans, as well as in the Herzegovinian Church. The first National Spiritual Renewal of Bosnia and Herzegovina YouFra was held from December 5-7, 2014 in Medjugorje, with the theme: “Freely you have received, freely give” Mt 10:8. The main goal of the spiritual renewal was the preparation for Christmas, but also bonding two fraternities of Herzegovina and Bosnia. Around 100 young people gathered for this event from all over the country. The programme began with registration and gathering in the Hall of St. John Paul II, and they all joined the evening prayer programme for the Rosary and Holy Mass in the parish church of St. James. During this period of three-day spiritual gathering, the Franciscan Youth had chance to participate in the evening prayer programme and they also visited Apparition Hill and Cross Mountain. Many of them said that the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament was the most beautiful part of this spiritual renewal that ended with the Holy Mass for all of the participants. The seminar for altar boys from Herzegovinian parishes where Franciscan priests are serving was held in Medjugorje from December 5-7, 2014, with the theme: Come, follow me, and there were thirty two altar boys from sixteen parishes. The seminar began with the Rosary and the evening Holy Mass in the parish church that was celebrated by Fr. Stanko Mabic, Promoter of the Spiritual Vocations. The conductor of the seminar was Fr. Perica Ostojic, Deacon serving in Mostar parish and the themes were various, from vocation of the altar boy to the spiritual vocation. Saturday was filled with various fun games, song, group work, prayer and social time. The event was concluded with the Holy Mass celebrated at 11 a.m. by Fr. Stanko Mabic and the lunch that followed after Holy Mass. The altar boys returned to their homes filled with joy because the experiences they gained at this seminar. Major floods affected Posavina, northern region of our country, this May. Many have still not returned to their homes, and as Fr. Marijan Zivkovic, parish priest and the guardian in Tolisa, said that they are also accepting Christmas this year and are hoping for the light and the warmth little baby Jesus can give in the Christmas night. Many of their families have become very poor and are still hoping and rejoicing to every help that might come from the people of good will and good heart. Radio station Mir Medjugorje and Humanitarian Association Medjugorje Mir - Mother’s Village are organising the humanitarian project “With our hearts to Posavina”. We invite you all to open your hearts in this Advent season and to provide to those in needs and to our neighbours as much as you can, with money contributions, food, hygiene products, household appliances or second-hand furniture. You can bring your contributions to the Humanitarian Association warehouse in Mother’s Village every day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Let us respond to this plea for help given in the words of the parish priest Fr. Marijan who said: “Do not forget us as we still need your help!” Early on Tuesday morning, after getting ill with serious illness, Kresimir Sego died. He was the chief editor of Medjugorje monthly bulletin “Glasnik Mira” for many years. He was born in Medjugorje on February 11, 1950. He completed the elementary school in Medjugorje and Citluk, and High school in Capljina. He graduated sociology at the Faculty of Political Sciences in Sarajevo and he worked as the journalist in Sarajevo and as the professor in Ciltuk. He wrote poetry, essays, and literature critics. His funeral was held on Wednesday, December 10, 2014, at 1.30 p.m. at cemetery Kovacica in Medjugorje. May he rest in peace! Carla Nicolini comes from Italy. She works as a teacher and a school principle for many years. She came to Medjugorje for the first time in 1986, but had already forgotten about that experience. The second time she came was in 1999, and ever since then she came for about 30 times to Medjugorje. „That is so great, already in the beginning I was able to see what Medjugorje is and I realised that my desire was to get to know Our Lady more and more. She is so present here. That helped me understand who I am and in 2010, I did consecration of my life. Ever since then, a beautiful, powerful way of joy began, despite all difficulties and crosses that were also present. Medjugorje helped me to learn how to live with the cross and how to be next to the Cross. My life became completely changed. I need to say that the first year of my consecrated life was full of gifts in my parish. One religious community came into our parish, community made of priests who live Marian way of life, who placed the spirituality of Medjugorje in the concrete practice where I live. That was such unusual gift, something we wanted but never thought it was possible. I saw that Our Lady, through their way of life, came to be so close to me. At the same time, Our Lady was preparing another greater gift and that is perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. It was accomplished thanks to the priests who came to live and work in our parish”. - said Carla. On Monday, December 8, we celebrated the Feast of the Immaculate Virgin Mary. Holy Masses in Croatian language were held in the parish church at 6 and 11 a.m. and at 6 p.m. The evening prayer programme is according to the regular schedule with Rosary at 5 p.m. and Holy Mass at 6 p.m. The early Holy Masses are held every day in Advent at 6 a.m. On Friday, December 12, after the evening Holy Masses, at 7.30 p.m. there will be presentation of the Collection of Works of Fr. Stanko Vasilj as well as the promotion of Collection of selected poems, hymns and Holy Masses of Fr. Stanko. The main Choir of St. James parish as well as the vocal group Luka. Međugorje is at the moment preparing for Christmas. Along with the spiritual prayer preparation of parishioners and pilgrims at the early Holy Masses at 6 a.m., boys from Cenacolo community are also very busy constructing Betlehem scene outside the church of St. James that will be used for the live nativity performance starting with the Christmas Eve. This community has been doing this for many years now and it is something that all parishioners and pilgrims are looking forward to. Pietro Paterlini, the Italian priest from the Diocese of Reggio Emilia Guastalla came to Medjugorje. He heard about Medjugorje for the first time in the 80's and his first visit was in December of 2009, when Fr. Pietro visited Medjugorje with one small group of pilgrims from his parish. „I wanted to come sam to Medjugorje, because I visited before Our Lady's shrines in Italy and France. I found a very profound atmosphere of prayer here in Medjugorje. Once you come here, you begin to pray simpler way. In a special way, I was really impressed by Apparition Hill where we pray Rosary and by Cross Mountain with the devotion of the Way of the Cross. I would call Medjugorje the great school of prayer "– said Fr. Pietro and added that he witnessed many fruits of conversion in Medjugorje.

Međugorska župa se i ove godine za blagdan Kristova rođenja pripravlja uz mise zornice ujutro u 6 h. A od ponedjeljka 15. prosinca, devetnicom. Mise zornice tijekom cijelog Došašća prenosi i radiopostaja "Mir" Međugorje. Svakim danom devetnice na Podbrdu – brdu Gospina ukazanja moli se krunica u 14 sati. Već nekoliko dana članovi zajednice Cenacolo ispred međugorske župne crkve sv. Jakova pripremaju žive jaslice koje će, kako je to postalo uobičajeno, uprizoriti u božićno vrijeme. Novost je da će se ove godine uključiti u izvedbu i Veliki župni zbor, a vrijedni framaši župe Međugorje, predvođeni svojim duhovnim asistentom fra Stankom Ćosićem, pripremili su i ove godine adventsku akciju. Framaši su ovom hvalevrijednom akcijom, tj. prodavanjem adventskih vjenaca i čestitki u crkvenom dvorištu, prikupljali sredstva za najpotrebnije, kako bi im nadolazeći Božić učinili što sretnijim i radosnijim. Također, framaši svojim pjevanjem i čitanjem uveličavaju zornicu u Međugorju tijekom Devetnice. Dvoje hodočasnika, Luis Garcia i Marina, iz Španjolske su hodočastili u Međugorje biciklima. Ovo im je prvi put da dolaze u Međugorje. Luis je o hodočašću kazao: „Na hodočašću smo od Španjolske do Jeruzalema. A evo Bog je želio da posjetimo i Međugorje. Uvijek smo bili u Božjim rukama i Djevice Marije koja nas je cijelim putem čuvala. Ona je htjela da ja budem ovdje. Čuo sam za Gospu Međugorsku, zahvaljujući jednoj hodočasnici koja je poznavala Međugorje. To je zapalilo žar u mom srcu. I ona je htjela da posjetim sva marijanska svetišta u cijeloj Europi. Od svih svetišta koje sam posjetio, ovo je najljepše mjesto i na mene je ostavilo najjači dojam. U ponedjeljak, 15. prosinca 2014. u Međugorju počinje devetnica rođenju Isusovu. Kroz tih devet dana do Božića u 14 sati na Podbrdu moli se krunica. Stoga u idući petak, 19. prosinca neće biti Križnog puta na Križevcu, nego krunica na Podbrdu.Večernji molitveno-liturgijski program u međugorskoj župnoj crkvi sv. Jakova započinje, kao i obično, u 17 sati molitvom krunice, u 18 je sv. misa, a nakon mise uobičajeni molitveni program. Kroz cijelo Došašće, osim nedjelje, slave se svete mise zornice u 6h, koje predslave međugorski franjevci. Mogućnost Ispovijedi je svako jutro, prije mise zornice od 5,30 i za vrijeme večernjeg molitvenog programa. Pozivaju se župljani da to bude zajednička priprava za ovogodišnju proslavu rođenja Kristova. Prošle je godine u sklopu pripreme za proslavu patrona župe svetog Jakova, u Međugorju održan simpozij o fra Stanku Vasilju. A u petak, 12. prosinca 2014., nakon večernje svete mise, predstavljen je Zbornik radova o fra Stanku s toga simpozija koji sadrži i sva fra Stankova pisana djela. Predstavljena je i fra Stankova glazbena ostavština, njegove note sabrane u Zbirku izabranih pjesama, himni i misa. Fra Stanko je u drugoj polovici 20. stoljeća bio prepoznatljiva ličnost u Provinciji hercegovačkih franjevaca, kao i u hercegovačkoj Crkvi. Seminar za ministrante hercegovačkih župa u kojima djeluju franjevci održan je u Međugorju, od 5. do 7. prosinca 2014. Na seminaru koji je održan na temu: „Dođi, slijedi me“ bila su trideset i dva ministranta iz 16 župa. Seminar je počeo krunicom i večernjom misom u župnoj crkvi u Međugorju koju je predvodio fra Stanko Mabić, promicatelj duhovnih zvanja. Voditelj je bio fra Perica Ostojić, đakon na službi u Mostaru, a promišljalo se i razgovaralo o pozivu ministranta, te na poseban način o duhovnom pozivu. Subota je bila ispunjena različitim zabavnim igrama, pjesmom, radom po grupama, molitvom i zajedničkim druženjem. Sve je završilo u nedjelju sa svetom misom u 11,00 sati, koju je predvodio fra Stanko Mabić, te zajedničkim ručkom nakon svete mise. Ministranti su se vratili svojim župama i svojim kućama radosni zbog iskustava koje su na seminaru doživjeli. Od 5. do 7. prosinca 2014. godine u Međugorju je održana prva Nacionalna duhovna obnova Frame Bosne i Hercegovine pod geslom:„Besplatno primiste i besplatno dajte” (Mt 10, 8). Osnovni cilj duhovne obnove je priprema za Božić, ali i rad na povezivanju dvaju područnih bratstava, Hercegovine i Bosne Srebrene. U Međugorju na duhovnoj obnovi okupilo se 100-ak framaša iz cijele BiH. Program je počeo okupljanjem i prijavama u dvorani Ivana Pavla II., nakon čega su framaši išli na krunicu i svetu misu u župnu crkvu sv. Jakova. Tijekom duhovnog trodnevlja mladi su sudjelovali u večrnjem molitvenom programu, posjetima Brdu ukazanja i Križevcu. Klanjanje Isusu u Presvetom oltarskom sakramentu je, po mnogim framašima, bio najljepši dio ove duhovne obnove koja je završena zajedničkom svetom misom. U svibnju ove godine velike poplave su pogodile Posavinu. Mnogi još uvijek nisu u svojim domovima, a kako kaže fra Marijan Živković, župnik i gvardijan u Tolisi i oni u ovom vremenu iščekuju Božić i nadaju se svjetlu i toplini koje daruje malo dijete Isus u božićnoj noći. Mnoge su njihove obitelji osiromašene i još uvijek se nadaju i raduju svakoj pomoći ljudi dobre volje i dobroga srca. Radiopostaja Mir Međugorje i Humanitarna udruga Međugorje Mir Majčino selo organiziraju humanitarnu akciju ''Srcem za Posavinu''. Pozivamo vas da ovoga došašća otvorite svoja srca za potrebite i pomognete bližnjima novčanim prilozima, hranom, higijenskim potrepštinama, kućanskim aparatima i rabljenim namještajem. Svoje priloge možete donijeti u Humanitarnu udrugu Međugorje Mir Majčino selo svakim radnim danom od 8 do 16h. Odazovimo se ovom pozivu na pomoć i riječima župnika fra Marijana koji kaže: ''Nemojte nas zaboraviti jer još uvijek trebamo vašu pomoć!'' Rano jutros u Međugorju je, nakon teške bolesti, preminuo Krešimir Šego, dugogodišnji glavni urednik, međugorskog mjesečnika Glasnik mira. Rodio se 11. veljače 1950., u Međugorju. Osnovnu školu završio je u Međugorju i Čitluku, a srednju u Čapljini. Diplomirao je sociologiju na Fakultetu političkih znanosti u Sarajevu. Radio je kao novinar u Sarajevu te kao profesor u gimnaziji u Čitluku. Pisao je pjesme, eseje, književne kritike. Posljednji ispraća polazi u srijedu 10. prosinca 2014. u 13.30 sati, ispred kuće žalosti u Međugorju. Pokop će biti na groblju Kovačica u Međugorju. POČIVAO U MIRU BOŽJEM! Carla Nicolini dolazi iz Italije. Već dugi niz godina je učiteljica i ravnateljica u školi. U Međugorje je prvi put došla 1986.godine i to je iskustvo palo u zaborav. Drugi put dolazi 1999., i od tada je Međugorje posjetila 30-ak puta. „To je puno, već sam na početku vidjela što je Međugorje. Shvatila sam da je želja upoznati sve više i više Gospu bila snažna u meni. Gospa je ovdje jako prisutna. To mi je pomoglo shvatiti tko sam ja. I 2010. sam izvršila posvetu svoga života. I od tada je počeo prekrasan, snažan put put radosti, unatoč poteškoćama i križevima koji nisu nedostajali. U ponedjeljak, 8. prosinca svetkovina je Bezgrješnog začeća Blažene Djevice Marije. Sv. mise na hrvatskome jeziku u župnoj crkvi u Međugorju su u 6 (sv. misa zornica),11 i 18 sati. Večernji molitveni program, kao i redovito, počinje krunicom u 17 sati, potom slijedi večernja sveta misa. Od početka Došašća, pa sve do Božića, svakim danom, osim nedjeljom, u župnoj crkvi slavi se sveta misa zornica u 6 sati. A u petak, 12. prosinca,nakon večernje svete mise u 19.30., u dvorani Ivana Pavla II., održat će se promocija Zbornika radova o fra Stanku Vasilju i promocija Zbirke odabranih pjesama, himni i misa fra Stankovih. U glazbenom dijelu programa sudjeluju Veliki župni zbor i klapa Luka. U tijeku su pripreme za Božić u župi Međugorje. Uz molitveno-duhovnu pripravu župljana i hodočasnika kroz svete mise zornice u 6h, u župi se gradi i Betlehem na prostoru platoa ispred crkve sv. Jakova. Već nekoliko dana momci iz zajednice Cenacolo grade Betlehem za žive jaslice koje će biti uprizorene od Badnjaka. Zajednica Cenacolo tradicionalno godinama uprizoruje žive jaslice za sve župljane i hodočasnike koji posjećuju Međugorje. Međugorje je posjetio don Pietro Paterlini, talijanski svećenik, iz biskupije Reggio Emilia Guastalla. Za Međugorje je prvi put čuo osamdesetih godina. A prvi posjet se dogodio u prosincu 2009., kada je don Pietro Međugorje posjetio s jednom malom skupinom hodočasnika iz župe. „Imao sam želju doći u Međugorje, jer sam prije toga posjetio Gospina svetišta u Italiji i Francuskoj. U Međugorju sam našao vrlo snažno ozračje molitve. Kad dođeš u Međugorje, jednostavnije moliš. A na poseban način su me se dojmila međugorska brda: Brdo ukazanja, gdje se moli krunica i Križevac, s pobožnošću Križnog puta. Nazvao bih Međugorje velikom školom molitve”. – ističe don Pietro dodaje kako je vidio brojne plodove obraćenja u Međugorju. Broj podijeljenih sv. pricesti: 61 000 Broj svećenika koncelebranata: 1264 (42 dnevno) Nakon 25 godina Mladifesta u Međugorju, održan je prvi festival mladih i u Poljskoj. Osim Bijele Hrvatske i pape u bijelom (sv. Ivana Pavla II.), Poljake i Hrvate sada veže i Međugorje. Poljaci su i ranije hodočastili u Međugorje, no sada na neki način Međugorje ide u Poljsku i ta će povezanost biti čvršća i plodonosnija. Tako je barem izgledalo tijekom tri dana druženja mladih Poljaka i mladih iz Međugorja. (slike) U nedjelju, 30. studenog počinje došašće - vrijeme priprave za Božić. Od ponedjeljka, 1. prosinca, u župi Međugorje počinju i svete mise zornice. Svaki dan, osim nedjelje, bit će u župnoj crkvi sveta misa zornica u 6 sati, koju će prenositi i radiopostaja Mir Međugorje. Ove godine biti će još jedna posebnost, a to je da kroz to vrijeme neće biti jutarnjih misa u 7:30, već samo misa zornica u 6 sati, na kojoj će se moliti i za pokojne. U Međugorju su, u ovome uobičajeno mirnijem vremenu, boravili hodočasnici iz Poljske, Latvije, SAD-a, Italije, Slovačke, Koreje i Austrije.
