Novena to the Queen of Peace is starting today and pilgrims and parishioners will prepare for the 31st Anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions through prayer of the Rosary on Apparition Hill at 4 p.m. every day. The evening prayer programme starts with Rosary at 6 p.m. and Holy Mass at 7 p.m. Novena is opportunity to thank God for all of the graces we had received through our Heavenly Mother in the last 31 years. As the 31st Anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions is getting closer, we meet pilgrims from all over the world in Medjugorje. We had chance to talk to 20 –years-old girl from Ireland who is in wheelchair. “I would like to thank for the opportunity to be in Medjugorje. My group leader told me that she had a cancellation last week and she invited me to come instead of that person. It is my blessing to be here, one really feels joy here. I hope to bring peace and hope from this place to my home, to those that I know”, said Maebh who shared her story with us, story full of crosses and lots of suffering, but on the other hand, story full of peace and joy. On Monday, June 11, 2012, after the evening prayer programme, the Franciscan Youth from Medjugorje held a performance titled “It all begins with something” in the hall of the Blessed John Paul II. The author of the piece is Dr. Mile Cavar and 13 members of the Franciscan Youth participated in this play. It is about the life of young people, their problems and ways to resolve those problems. “It is the way of proclaiming the Joyful News, the Gospel through performance, play or drama, it is our way to proclaim the Gospel”, said Fr. Slaven Brekalo, the spiritual assistant of the Franciscan Youth from Medjugorje. Franciscan Youth has been active in Medjugorje since 1995 and with singing, prayer and many other activities, these young people are contributing to the fruitful spiritual atmosphere in this world famous parish. Number of Holy Communions: 190.500 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 4140 (133 per day) Diego Garcia Nunez arrived to Medjugorje after five months of walking from his native Cordoba in Spain, through Santiago de Compostela, Rome and Padua. This sixty- four years old pilgrim walked more than 3000 kilometres to fulfil his vow. Five years ago, he was diagnosed with cancer and he decided to walk to Medjugorje to Our Lady if he ever got better. He heard about Medjugorje when he was listening to Radio Maria, fifteen years ago. Exactly a year ago, his doctors told him that his cancer was gone and he decided to walk in thanksgiving to Our Lady, the Queen of Peace. Zvonko Bogi, Vesna Jankovic, Zlatica Cepo, brother and two sisters, walked from Osijek and arrived to Medjugorje on Thursday, May 24, 2012. They started their trip on May 14, 2012. They made decision to do this pilgrimage in the honour of Our Lady, the Queen of Peace, before Christmas last year. They wanted to thank her for everything she had done for them. They wanted to emphasise that everyone they met on their journey was kind and gracious to them and they would like to thank them all. “There was prayer and joy while we travelled here. We were in the pain, but every morning, after waking up, the pain was gone. Our Lady was with us all the time, she was guiding us and the doors were opened to us wherever we came. We visited many pilgrimage destinations, but Medjugorje is something special, something that cannot be described”, said Zvonko, Vesna and Zlatica who are members of the Movement of Devine Mercy. They will stay in Medjugorje until Sunday, May 27, when another group of pilgrims from Osijek will join them. John O’Sullivan arrived to Mejugorje with a group of pilgrims from town Killarney in Ireland. That would be something completely normal if it was not a pilgrim who celebrated his 100th birthday on April 5, 2012. This is his ninth pilgrimage to Medjugorje and he came for the first time in 2002. He found out about Medjugorje from other pilgrims. He is in a good health and his age did not prevent him from climbing Apparition Hill and Cross Mountain in the company of other pilgrims. “I heard about Medjugorje and I decided to come, I never thought it would be so beautiful. I visited other places but I always prefer to come back here”, said John and he promised to come back again. Annamária Vécsey from Budapest walked to Medjugorje with one another pilgrim. She had done that back in 2008. They started their journey on April 12, 2012 and arrived to Medjugorje on the Feast of Ascension of Our Lord, May 19, 2012. She knew all details of her journey and despite her age and health difficulties, 68-years old Annamaria said: “Yes, I will go!” When they arrived to Medjugorje in Our Lady’s embrace, they forgot about all of their difficulties and bad weather circumstances. They were only able to recall beautiful memories they had with other people. She thinks it was God’s providence that she was able to meet the same people who were willing to help her last time, four years ago. She is joyful and grateful to dear God and to Our Lady because they came to their destination healthy and alive, and she would like to thank all those good people who had helped them on their journey. Married couple Patricia and Jack Duggan from Canada are in Medjugorje in these days. They came here for the first time in 1993, when they were helping with refugee camps throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. Patricia said: “I heard about Medjugorje from one of the priests. There were many problems, my kids were small at that time and I was not able to come. All we wanted was to help others and it happened by accidence that both my husband and I became group leaders. We have brought many people from Canada and we come here twice a year. Medjugorje is our second home.” Patricia said that they have seen many conversions in their groups after their visit to Medjugorje. On Saturday, May 19, 2012, eighty – one young boys and girls received the sacrament of the Holy Confirmation in the parish church of St. James. It is the sacrament in which all those baptised are enriched with the gift of the Holy Spirit and become more perfectly connected with the Catholic Church. The Sacrament was given by local bishop Monsignor Ratko Peric, at the Holy Mass that was held at 10 a.m. Day prior to the Sacrament of the Holy Confirmation, children and their parents participated in the Sacrament of the Reconciliation. Pilgrims arrive to Medjugorje in various ways and by different means of transport. A pilgrim on a bicycle would not be special news at all, but when it comes to a pilgrim who is over 70 years old, then we need to bring that as really special, extraordinary event. Helmut Kuhn, 71 years old German man, came from the north of Germany to Medjugorje. He started his pilgrimage on April 19th and arrived to Medjugorje on May 6th. Two years ago, he went on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela and it was then that he decided to come to Medjugorje on a bicycle. Helmut and his wife Brunhilde were guests at radio station “Mir” Medjugorje. “I felt relief and as soon as I arrived, I went to Medjugorje church on the same evening. Three hours afterwards, my wife came on a bus with group of pilgrims”, Helmut said. He said that he came to Medjugorje for the first time once when they were on summer holiday at the Adriatic coast, and they were here also four years ago. They are going back home very grateful and happy. They both expressed desire to come to Medjugorje more often. Thirty four Orthodox pilgrims from various parts of Israel arrived to Medjugorje on May 11, 2012. Few other pilgrims will join them in the following days. We met them at the beginning of their pilgrimage. “We came home, to our Mother. We are all Christians and we are united with God. There are no differences in Heaven. We feel as we belong here completely”, they said. They will stay in Medjugorje for ten days. Along with pilgrims from twenty different countries, our journalists met those from Panama as well. Lorena Varela, wife of the Vice President of Panama is here for second time. She heard about Medjugorje from her mother who always wanted to come for a visit, but because of her serious illness, she was not able to. Her mom died last year. Soon after the death of their mother, Lorena and her mom decided to come on pilgrimage to Medjugorje.

Prigodom boravka bečkoga nadbiskupa kardinala Christopha Schönborna u Međugorju, s njim je razgovarao Max Domej, Gebetsaktion Wien U Lurdu i Fatimi Crkva je donijela svoj sud, svoj konačni sud, tek nakon što su događaji bili okončani. Do toga će i u ovom slučaju prije ili kasnije doći, ali i tu ostavljamo Majci Božjoj slobodne ruke…. Mislim da Međugorje može mirno nastaviti ići svojim putem s povjerenjem da će Crkva, Majka i Učiteljica, ovdje doista dobro pratiti put kojim se ide. U srijedu, 13. siječnja 2010. u SK bolnici u Mostaru, nakon kratke i teške bolesti, u 55. godini života, umro je profesor Martin Pero Boras s Hardomilja. Profesor Boras je podučavao glazbu mnogim generacijama franjevačkih sjemeništaraca i novaka na Humcu, predavao u više škola, a uz njegovu pomoć i vodstvo djelovale su brojne glazbene sekcije u bratstvima FRAME u Hercegovini, pa tako i u Međugorju. Posebno prepoznatljiv pečat prof. Boras ostavio je kao ravnatelj međunarodnog zbora i orkestra koji je animirao pjevanje na Međunarodnom festivalu mladih u Međugorju, te za vrijeme Molitvenoga dočeka Nove godine. Iza njega je ostala supruga i četvero djece. Sprovod pokojnog Martina Pere je u petak, 15. siječnja na groblju na Žabaru, župa Humac u 14 sati. Počivao u miru Božjem. 'Došli smo ovdje kako bismo bili bliski Gospodinovoj Majci', rekli se na misi polnoćki u Međugorju, Vaša Eminencijo. Ove su riječi snažno odjeknule. Molim za pojašnjenje?! Kardinal: Ja ne mogu zataškati da ljudi dvadeset godina dolaze u Međugorje, kao i to što doživljavaju u Međugorju, da osjećaju blizinu Majke Božje. Ja još do sada nikada nisam bio u Međugorju. Ovdje sam prvi put, ali od trenutka od kako sam biskup, a to je od 1991. godine, jednostavno sam primijetio i kod nas kući plodove Međugorja. U Međugorju je za Novu godinu boravilo preko deset tisuća hodočasnika, uglavnom mladih, iz cijeloga svijeta. Nakon svete Mise zahvalnice koju je u 18 sati predvodio fra Svetozar Kraljević, zajednica Cenacolo je pred crkvom sv. Jakova uprizorila likovima, evanđeoskim tekstovima, pjesmom i glazbom Betlehemske žive jaslice. Klanjanje Isusu u Presvetom oltarskom sakramentu, od 22 do 23 sata, predvodio je dr. fra Miljenko Šteko, a sv. Misu koja je započela u 23,15, na latinskome jeziku, predvodio je nadbiskup bečki, kardinal dr. Christoph Schönborn, u suslavlju dr. fra Ivana Sesara, provincijala Hercegovačke franjevačke provincije i drugih 120 svećenika. Čitav Molitveni program pratio je svojim pjevanjem i sviranjem Međunarodni zbor i orkestar. (slike) Propovijed beckog kardinala dr. Christoph Schonborn u Medjugorju - 31.12.2009.

Večernji molitveni program započinje u 17 sati molitvom krunice, a u 18 sati je sv. Misa zahvalnica za proteklu godinu. Prije vigilije, zajednica Cenacolo upriličit će Žive jaslice na prostoru ispred crkve. Klanjanje Isusu u Presvetom oltarskom sakramentu započinje u 22 sata, a sv. Misa, koju na latinskome jeziku predvodi nadbiskup bečki, kardinal dr. Christoph Schönborn, započinje u 23,15. U Međugorju je 30. prosinca 2009. održan godišnji susret stipendista Udruge «Fra Slavko Barbarić». Susret je u 14 sati, molitvom i pozdravom studentima, otvorio predsjednik Udruge dr. fra Miljenko Šteko, zahvalivši članovima Udruge na suradnji i zajedničkom radu. Predsjednik se osobito zahvalio brojnim dobročiniteljima koji su, unatoč mnogim poteškoćama u doba recesije, i ove godine bili otvoreni i spremni pomoći potrebnim studentima talentima. U ovoj akademskoj godini na natječaj za stipendije prijavilo se 265 studenata, od toga 228 onih koji su ispunili uvjete natječaja. K tomu, Udruga je ove godine zaprimila i brojne zamolbe jednokratne pomoći. (slike) U Međugorje je ponedjeljak 28. prosinca, u privatni posjet, stigao nadbiskup bečki, kardinal dr. Christoph Schönborn, a u Međugorju će ostati nekoliko dana. Kardinal, povrh svega, želi, uz posjet Cenacolu - koji svoju podružnicu ima i u Austriji, u ovom poznatom molitvenom mjestu biti molitelj. Kardinal Schönborn (1945.) je od 1975 do 1991. profesor je dogmatike i teologije kršćanskoga Istoka u Fribourgu (Švicarska), a od 1987. do 1992. je tajnik redakcije za izdavanje novoga Katekizma Katoličke Crkve. Od 1991. je pomoćni biskup, a od 1995. nadbiskup Beča. Godine 1998. imenovan je kardinalom, te izabran za predsjednika Biskupske konferencije Austrije.
