Dear visitors to Mary’s Trsat! I am glad to see a great number of both personal and group pilgrimages to the Shrine of Trsat. I know that one does not have to persuade people very much to go on a pilgrimage to Our Lady of Trsat. It is great not only in terms of the number of pilgrims, but also and especially by the spirituality one experiences here. This is the original spirituality of Mary, permeated with Franciscan simplicity, evangelic humanity and sensitivity. The Shrine is viewed this way both by believers and those who still do not consider themselves of the faith. Therefore, they come here and return with pleasure, gladness and contentment. One should not forget anything which is of signifi cance for Trsat. However, today, it is very important to understand the tradition surrounding the connection between Trsat and Nazareth. This tradition concerns the connection of every visitor to Mary’s Trsat, especially pilgrims, with the Holy Nazareth family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. From my heart, I wish that the visitors to the Shrine of Trsat may experience God’s gift of new hope, meaning and faith, even if the visit be short. While they view the church, the chapel of votive offering, the cloisters, and maybe even the interior of the monastery, let the pages of history turn before their eyes and promote those deeds which incite beauty and admiration. I also wish that all may experience the truth that Trsat is an oasis of peace and renewal. mons. Ivan Devčić, the Archbishop of Rijeka

Dragi posjetitelji Marijina Trsata! Raduje me veliki broj privatnih i organiziranih hodočašća u Trsatsko svetište. Znam da ljude ne treba puno nagovarati da krenu na hodočašće Gospi Trsatskoj. Veliko je, ne samo po broju hodočasnika, nego poglavito po duhovnosti koja se u njemu doživljava i iz njega širi. To je izvorna marijanska duhovnost, prožeta franjevačkom jednostavnošću, evanđeoskom humanošću i tankoćutnošću. Vjernici, a i oni koji se možda takvima ne smatraju, upravo tako danas doživljavaju ovo Svetište, stoga rado ovamo dolaze i vraćaju se osvježeni, radosni i smireni. Ne bi trebalo zaboraviti niti ništa od onoga što se značajno na Trsatu zbilo. Ipak je najvrjednije danas razumjeti tradiciju o povezanosti Trsata s Nazaretom jer iz te predaje slijedi povezanost svakog posjetitelja Marijina Trsata, napose hodočasnika, i sa svetom nazaretskom obitelji Isusa, Marije i Josipa. Posjetiteljima Trsatskog svetišta od srca želim da i za najkraćega boravka dožive Božji dar nove nade, smisla i vjere. Dok razgledavaju crkvu, kapelu zavjetnih darova, klaustar, a možda i unutrašnjost samostana, neka se pred njihovim očima okreću stranice povijesti i promiču djela koja izazivaju osjećaj ljepote i divljenja. Ipak, želim svima da istodobno dožive istinu da je Trsat oaza mira i osvježenja. mons. Ivan Devčić, riječki nadbiskup
