>>> Visit Medjugorje Virtual Tour <<<

Spanish hockey player Litus Ballbe’s big dream was to play the Olympics, until a visit to Medjugorje gave him the call to be a priest. Now he is studying, but still his first dream has come true: His seminary has allowed him time for hockey, and on Monday he played at the London Olympics.

Intervista a Rosellina Diluna, consacrata laica che dalla Sardegna ora vive a Medjugorje

For any that don’t know Medjugorje is a small village in Bosnia where the Blessed Virgin Mary has allegedly been appearing over the past 25 years with a total of over 35,000 individual apparitions and messages. Millions of people have visited this place (most of whom probably against the Church’s strict teaching, although most likely without realising it).

I’ve written this blog to discuss the Church’s position on Medjugorje and how the faithful should react to it according to the Church’s teachings - if there are errors please correct me and I will be more than happy to make any necessary changes.

I've just returned from a summer retreat in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, with five peaceful days spent in the Marian shrine of Medjugorje. Each time I visit this town, I am stunned into silence by the profound and extraordinary peace that pervades the place, a peace so profound and so penetrating that it silences all doubts. An energy this holy cannot be based upon a lie. Still, I spent some time reviewing the many criticisms and accusations about the alleged apparitions still taking place here, and there are signs of contradiction and causes of concern, intermixed with lies and slanders and deliberate obfuscations. Clearly the Blessed Mother, if she is indeed appearing here (as I truly believe) has decided not to make it easy for anyone to reach a judgement about the place - not without considerable prayer and discernment.

Medjugorje, August 1 – 6, 2012

„Lord, increase our faith”

(Luke 17,5)

12PORTE - 19 luglio 2012: Parliamo di "apparizioni mariane", perché nonostante i pronunciamenti regolarmente emessi dalle competenti autorità ecclesiastiche, vengono spesso dati per sicuri giudizi che invece non hanno fondamento. Sentiamo in proposito mons. Andrea Caniato, con una precisazione anche sul fenomeno Medjugorie.
