Added June 27, 2006 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Interviews Fr. Dermod McCarthy, Editor of Religious Programmes in RTE - Interview![]() How do you see the spirituality of Medjugorje - if there is a spirituality of Medjugorje at all?I have been asking the question of myself and others if there is a distinct spirituality of Medjugorje. I do not think there is. I think it is more a call to deepen the spirituality that we already have. A new understanding of what we all received as children, in school and home; it is a reawakening of that, it is a renewal of that kind of uncomplicated faith, unembarrassed faith. As for the apparitions of Mary, at first you feel - if she is the Mother of God - her messages should be more theologically substantial. In fact they are deceptively simple. And I say to myself: I have been through theology courses, maybe this is the time for me to get back to the simple faith that we all have, and we grew up with. Time to look again at what Our Lady is saying, read the messages again, re-read them, and read between the lines, between the words.

Added June 11, 2006 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Priests of Medjugorje / Author: Fra Tomislav Vlašić, OFM The Sky was Opened!![]() On the evening of the 24th June 1981 at Bijakovici - a hamlet in the parish of Medjugorje - the sky was opened. No news. Yet extraordinary news. For Christian souls it was something familiar, yet it was also new. It brought new life: faith, hope and love were awoken, activating the divine life in persons. This novelty for some became life, for others it was a stumbling block. Or rather, the living presence of Our Lady in our midst was for some joy, while others would have wanted to suppress it. As always, jubilation becomes inspiration and promotes the faith in God’s people - but when one doesn’t believe it creates fear in those “free-in-God-to-choose” people. The Lord shows His face to His people, and this becomes a sign of contradiction. In this human vortex Mary comes as Mother of all, despite divisions and human reserve; she is, after all, Queen of Peace. As such she announces to every person the grandeur and nobleness of life in God. Despite the different responses to her call, she remains close to the people with her motherly love. Added June 11, 2006 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Reflections / Author: Giuseppe Ferraro “Thank you for responding to my call!”![]() The Queen of Peace ends her every message by thanking us “for having responded to her call.” In fact, she has been calling us with endearing motherly passion every day for the last 25 years: “I am, my dear Children, untiring; I call you even when you are far from my heart...” ( Mess. 14.11.1985 Added June 4, 2006 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Prayers So that Rosary is Prayer with the Heart![]() Fr. Andrea Gasparino from Cuneo, Italy is famous for his teachings on prayer, which he has been holding for more than 40 years. He teaches the prayer of silence and of the heart, and has always called himself an enemy of oral prayer. In the following interview, held on Radio Maria, the Father clarifies some doubts. Added June 4, 2006 , Originally published July 1, 2004 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Prayers / Author: Sr. Emmanuel Gospa: The prayer groups are powerful![]() Large crowds of pilgrims came to Medjugorje for the 23rd Anniversary of the Apparitions. What a pleasant surprise it was for all of us to hear this beautiful message given by the Gospa on this occasion (see PS.Message of June 25th Added June 2, 2006 / Section: Our Lady of Medjugorje Messages - Category: Mirjana Medjugorje Message, June 2, 2006 - Apparitions to MirjanaAdded May 21, 2006 , Originally published June 15, 2005 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Communities / Author: Sr. Emmanuel Community Nuovi Orizzonti (New Horizons) in MedjugorjeOther languages: English, Deutsch
![]() They are the brothers and sisters of “Nuovi Orizzonti” (New Horizons). Founded in Italy, this community is comprised of "survivors”: young men and women who have made the descent into hell, (all too frequent among today’s youth), and have come back to life with Jesus and Mary. But how? Added May 15, 2006 , Originally published March, 2005 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Visionaries, Jelena Vasilj, Interviews / Author: Sr. Stefania Consoli Jelena Interviewed - Our Lady told us the truth![]() Jelena, you have been absent from the pages of Echo for some time. What has been happening in your life lately? Who is Jelena today?We’re expecting our third child, but the pregnancy hasn’t been going according to previsions, and I’ve been confined to total rest. But I’ve seen how this condition of immobility regards my body only, while my spirit has been able to broaden out continually. So this has been a time of grace for me, because love has two sides to it. There is the joy and the enthusiasm of giving, even though this is accompanied by the cross, but it is when the cross is accepted, that our joy is even deeper. Then, everything is okay. It seems as though life should be always downhill to be true – or that’s how we imagine it. However, I am coming to understand ever more how suffering is our true life. So I can say that right now I am living this “true life.” | | ![]() | |
