The nineteenth International Meeting for Organisers of Pilgrimages, Leaders of Peace Centres and Međugorje Prayer and Charity Groups will be held in Medjugorje from the 4th to the 8th of March 2012. The theme of the gathering is: “… I do belive, help my unbelief!” Number of Holy Communions: 21.000 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 729 (25 per day) Herzegovinian Regional Fraternity of the Third Franciscan Order organised spiritual renewal at the beginning of the Lent that was held in Medjugorje on February 25, 2012. More than 350 members of the Third Franciscan Order from more than 9 different Herzegovinian parishes came to Medjugorje. Danko Perutina, the host of this renewal, greeted all who came and welcomed them to Medjugorje. After that, Regional Spiritual Assistant, Fr. Josip Vlasic gave a lecture on theme: “As Fraternity and with Fraternity through the doors of the faith” where he emphasised the importance of life in the Fraternity. All participants of this renewal participated in the evening prayer programme that is held in the church of St. James. Dr. Fr. Ivan Sesar, the Provincial of Herzegovina Franciscan Province, celebrated the evening Holy Mass along with nine other priests that concelebrated. Petar Vlasic, the parish priest, greeted all of the participants at the end of the evening Holy Mass and the retreat was completed after the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. This year the Lent will start on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 and that is the period of forty-day preparation for Easter. During that time we meditate on Christ’s passion, especially while in the prayer of the Way of the Cross. That devotion is going to be held in the church with the following schedule: Fridays: the Way of the Cross on Cross Mountain at 2 p.m. and after the evening Holy Mass in the church of St. James Sundays: before the main Holy Mass at 10.30 a.m. and again after the evening Holy Mass at 6 p.m. Mr. Rateb Rabie, KCHS, President of the Holy Land Christian Ecumenical Foundation, spoke with reporters for Radio MIR Medjugorje during his visit to Medjugorje. Mr. Rateb is a Christian from Palestine, born in Jordan. His parents were forced to leave Jerusalem in 1948 and they had to immigrate to Jordan. He himself immigrated later to the United States where he got married and lived there for 35 years. Mr. Rabie is the citizen of the United States. Regarding his life’s journey he said: "I was a businessman who was only consumed with the idea of gaining power and money. At that time, I received an invitation to return to the Holy Land and felt that I needed to do something for Christians and peace in that country. Three years after I returned from that trip, I realised that I had to choose between continuing with my job and successful business career and pursuing the mission for the Christians in the Holy Land. I knew I could not do both of those tasks at the same time. I left everything I did and I completely devoted myself to this new ministry and I can say that I am happy now. I have four daughters and at first my family questioned my decision because they could not understand why I decided to found this non-profit organisation. It took time, but finally the Foundation was formed that engaged the entire international community. 2nd Commemoration Days of Murdered Herzegovinian Franciscans were held in Siroki Brijeg from February 4 to February 7, when we commemorated 67th anniversary of brutal execution of Herzegovinian Franciscans. On Friday, February 10, we are celebrating Memorial of Blessed Cardinal Alojzije Stepinac and it is also the day when we remember all murdered Franciscans from the parish of Medjugorje. Holy Mass at 6 p.m. is going to be celebrated for the following Franciscans who were brutally murdered during the Second World War: Fr. Krizan Galic, Fr. Jozo Bencun, Fr. Marko Dragicevic, Fr. Mariofil Sivric, Fr. Grgo Vasilj and Fr. Jenko Vasilj. We will also remember and pray for all of the parishioners who were murdered during the First World War, the Second World War and during the recent Homeland War. This February we are experiencing real winter with really low temperatures and snow all over the country. On Wednesday, February 1st, it started snowing and heavy snow on Friday completely blocked all of the roads and towns around Herzegovina and Dalmatia. This weather will remain even in the days that are coming. Along with one football club that came to prepare for the spring season in Medjugorje, there are groups of pilgrims from Spain, the United States, Peru, Korea and Italy. They are all able to see amazing change in the nature around Medjugorje parish. (photos) Number of Holy Communions: 54.700 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 1122 (36 per day) The spiritual retreat was held in Medjugorje from January 27 to January 29, 2012 and it was held by Professor Tomislav Ivancic from Zagreb. Besides the regular evening prayer programme, Prof. Ivancic conducted several lectures for parishioners, employees of the Parish Office, the Information Centre, as well as for the owners of hotels and for the children and the youth. He also celebrated two Holy Masses on Sunday morning, one for children at 9.30 a.m. and the main one at 11 a.m. The retreat ended with that Holy Mass. He gave interview for radio “Mir” Medjugorje and said that purpose of every retreat is to plant good seed for personal life and soul in order for our faith to grow stronger. “It is very important to open ourselves to God’s grace and to listen to everything God says to us. Medjugorje opens the mystery of Heaven and that is why it is so fascinating to us!” Parishioners from neighbouring parishes participated in this retreat as well. Sana Nassar and Sara Chaya are coming from Lebanon. Sana is the founder of the non-profit organisation “Friends of Mary, the Queen of Peace”. The purpose of that organisation is to serve to Our Lady’s messages from Medjugorje. She came to Medjugorje in 1986 for the first time, while in 1996, she organised the first pilgrimage to Medjugorje that was supposed to be just for her family and friends. That pilgrimage turned out to be pilgrimage for the whole Lebanese nation. Few of them organised pilgrimages that became bigger and bigger with each time. Sana witnesses how more than 40,000 Lebanese came to Medjugorje through the group of forty volunteers. There were more than 300 priests and nine bishops that came along as well. Their office is at Lumiere TV station that is the only Christian TV station for twenty-four Arabian countries in the Near East. On Saturday, January 21, 2012, we will commemorate the 10th death anniversary of former Medjugorje parish priest, Fr. Leonard Orec. He was born in Posuski Gradac in 1928, and died in Zagreb in 2002. We will celebrate the evening Holy Mass at 6 p.m. in the church of St. James on that day. Leonard attended the elementary school in Posuski Gradac, Grammar School in Siroki Brijeg (1940 – 1945), as well as in Varazdin and Sarajevo. He spent his years as seminarian in Sarajevo. He received his Franciscan habit in 1946, and he was ordained as a priest in 1951. He worked as educator in Split and Kraljeva Sutjeska. He received his post – graduate title of doctor of science at the University of Theology in Ljubljana in 1956, with the thesis of “Relation of Mary and Christ in devotion of people in Bosnia and Herzegovina ferom 1463 to 1878”. Apart from the parishioners of Medjugorje parish, there were numerous pilgrims from all over the world. According to the information of Information Office there were larger groups of pilgrims from Korea, China, Austria, Germany, Italy, France, Hungary, Spain, Romania, Switzerland, Slovakia, Poland, the United States, Czech Republic, Portugal, Canada, Ukraine and Lithuania. There were also large groups of pilgrims from Croatia and Canada, along with many groups from other countries that are not mentioned above. (photos) Number of Holy Communions: 83.000 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 1452 (46 per day) In the previous 2011 there have been 2 027 900 Holy Communions given in the church, and total of 41 094 priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses. The 20th Anniversary of the “Fr. Slavko Barbaric” Association for providing stipends and grants to students was celebrated with solemn Academy held in Medjugorje on December 29, 2011 in the packed Hall of the Blessed John Paul II. Twenty years ago Fr. Slavko Barbaric initiated founding of this Association, with the intention of offering material and spiritual help to talented and poor students. Since Fr. Slavko had greatly contributed in foundation and work of this Association, the Board of the Association brought up decision in 2001 about changing the name the Fund “The Friends of the Talented” Medjugorje to the Association “Fr. Slavko Barbaric” Medjugorje. (fotos) And indeed, from His fullness we have received grace to grace, for He is our peace! With desire that God’s peace reigns in all of the hearts, all of the families, all of the countries and in the whole world, united in prayer with all of the friends of Medjugorje throughout the world: MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! May this Christmas be for you day of joy and peace. May Jesus visit you in your families and may he be born in the hidden place of your heart!

Svoje iskustvo podijelili su s novinarima Radiopostaje Mir Međugorje: „Međugorje je posebno mjesto, a nama su molitva i ispovijed najljepši. Ovdje smo svi jedno, svi smo prijatelji”. Također su nam kazali da se u Međugorju snažno osjeća Božja blizina i da su radosni što mogu sklopiti nova prijateljstva i produbljivati svoju vjeru. Jasna Mihelić i Klara Ćurić iz Požege te Vanja Bajivić i Ana Antolić iz Virovitice biciklima su 31. srpnja stigle u Međugorje na 24. Mladifest – međunarodni molitveni susret mladih. Nakon za tjedan dana prijeđenih 700 kilometara najprije su pred župnom crkvom, kod kipa Kraljice Mira, zahvalile za sretan dolazak. „Sretni smo što smo stigli, i vjerojatno ćemo svoje hodočašće ponoviti“, kazali su nam mladi hodočasnici.

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. Toliko smo se puta uvjerili u njezinu veliku ljubavi za sve one koje nosimo u svom srcu. Ovo nam je drugi dom“ – složno su nam kazali članovi obitelj Cindrić koji su u Međugorje došli s molitvenom zajednicom Totus Tuus. Susret duhovnih zvanja Broćanskog dekanata već pet godina održava se u različitim župama ovoga dekanata. Ovogodišnji susret, na kojemu je sudjelovalo 50-ak sudionika, održan je u Međugorju u ponedjeljak 22. srpnja. Nazočnima je o međugorskoj župi i pastoralnom djelovanju u njoj govorio fra Marinko Šakota, međugorski župnik. Sudionike su pozdravili dekan Broćanskog dekanata fra Mate Dragićević i načelnik općine Čitluk Ivo Jerkić. Tijekom susreta slavljena je i sveta Misa. Broćanski dekanat broji 116 duhovnih zvanja, među kojima su redovnice različitih družbi, svećenici, redovnici, bogoslovi i sjemeništarci. U četvrtak 25. srpnja je svetkovina sv. Jakova - zaštitnika župe Međugorje. Svete Mise u župnoj crkvi slave se u 7, 8 i 19 sati, a središnja proslava - svečana sveta Misa je u 11 sati u Gaju. Procesija s kipom kreće iz crkve u 10, 45 sati. Molitveni program je redovit kao svaku večer - molitva krunice je u 18, a sv. Misa u 19 sati. U četvrtak je i redovito cjelonoćno klanjanje. U 22 sata počinje zajedničko klanjanje, a nakon toga Presveto će biti izloženo u crkvi do 7 sati ujutro. Župa Međugorje utemeljena je 1892. godine i od svoga osnutka posvećena je sv. Jakovu, zaštitniku hodočasnika. U nepuna tri tjedna u Međugorju su Mlade Mise proslavila tri svećenika: 3.srpnja don Filip Pavlović, 7. srpnja fra Mario Ostojić i 21.srpnja fra Josip Serđo Ćavar. 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
