Medjugorje is a special place visited by thousands of pilgrims each year in search of the spirituality and serenity that exists there. Six children from this small village located in the southwest of Bosnia and Herzegovina reported a series of visions of Our Lady that began on 24 June 1981 and still continue today. (see links below for more) The visionaries, Ivan, Jakov,
Marija, Mirjana, Vicka and Ivanka report that Our Lady’s mission is
one of peace and love and that she tells us “I have come to tell
the world that God exists. He is the fullness of life, and to enjoy
this fullness and peace, you must return to God”. Medjugorje [meaning ‘between the hills’] is situated between Citluk and Ljubuski, about 12 miles south west of Mostar. The parish of Medjugorje contains four villages including Bijakovici where the ‘Hill of Apparitions’, Mt. Podbrdo, is situated. Mt. Kricevac, ‘Cross Mountain’ is also close by. One of the other villages is Surmanci, where an icon of the Divine Mercy is displayed. | interactive map | live webcams |

I want you to go back home together with the pearl you have found in Medjugorje; with the treasure Our Lady wants to give every one of you as her beloved children. It is what she wants, but it doesn’t depend on her. You must desire that too.” ~ Fr. Jozo Zovko <:))))<>< “There are
some places and some people in life that ‘mark’ you forever. Once
you have come in contact with them, they revive in you everything
that seemed buried within your heart forever. |

NB This article is since overtaken by the Vatican's (limited) approval of Medjugorje and appointment of an Envoy in Medjugorje Dear brothers and sisters,
peace! Once more, we are facing a modern disease - to read, comment and become passionate about media statements when its first goal is not always to convey the truth. Many in the media are pushing their own position with a great deal of noise. Of course one may express a personal opinion on the subject, and slip in snippets of the truth. But whoever wishes to be informed about the truth of an important matter can do it in a way that is secure and that heals the confusion, disorder, doubt, bitterness, rebellion, or even triumphant satisfaction which does not necessarily come from the Holy Spirit. The way to do this is easy: just go to the source of the information! And the only source of information from the Holy See is the spokesman appointed for this purpose: Father Lombardi. Whoever is looking for a recent statement from him regarding the position of the Holy See on Medjugorje will not find one! Whoever is searching the Vatican website on the subject will find nothing, not a thing. What does this mean? The media virus has struck once again, sowing turmoil in many hearts with all its contradictions. The truth is that neither the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (the CDF), nor the Pope have issued an official statement about Medjugorje. They have not even held a meeting to address the subject together. In addition, no meeting has been scheduled during the summer. It is also very likely that the theme of the family - the great theme of the year - will take precedence over the Medjugorje issue. So, let's be patient! All those who have experienced many graces in Medjugorje and who have wholeheartedly followed the school of the Queen of Peace should be reassured, because today we can state the following: · Medjugorje is not forbidden by the Church.· The Pope has not yet taken a stand on Medjugorje. · Everyone can travel there in private pilgrimage without disobeying the Church. · The messages are not prohibited, everyone can disseminate them and especially live them. · The visionaries have not been declared to be false. The Holy Father carries a great responsibility, because the final word will depend on him. We know that Cardinal Müller, prefect of the CDF, has sometimes expressed negative statements regarding Medjugorje. That is why, in this time of grace and struggle, we need to pray a lot to the Holy Spirit for the Holy Father, and also fast for him. May the will of God be fulfilled! Whatever position Rome will express through official channels, we will obey it. Obedience will be the best sign that we are walking with the Queen of Peace, with the Church and not without the Church. Mary is relying on us to help her fully realize her plans. Because, let us not forget: "In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph." Sr. Emmanuel + <:))))<>< |
