10 april 2007 , Originally published 15 november 2001 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Testimonies, Medjugorje in the Catholic Church Testimony of Bishop Denis Croteau![]() I think what has struck my people is the piety and devotion of the people here, the faith, the testimonies we have received. We have seen people at prayer, people that believe, people that live their Christian experience of faith and love. They are on fire. It's beautiful. I couldn't ask for anything more. I've tried all kinds of things in my diocese to transform the people- because we live in a dysfunctional society and I've spent thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars with sessions and workshops, and I haven't accomplished, spending all that kind of money, 10% of what has been accomplished here with one pilgrimage! So you've got someone here who will really push, not officially, but push! 5 april 2007 / Section: Picture & Photo Galleries - Category: Jesus Christ Pictures Easter and Passion of Jesus Christ![]() 2 april 2007 / Section: Our Lady of Medjugorje Messages - Category: Mirjana Budskap, 2 april 2007 - Budskap från Guds Moder Maria till MirjanaOther languages: English, Български, Català, Čeština, Français, Italiano, Română, Svenska, Tiếng Việt, زبان_فارسی
26 mars 2007 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Testimonies, Reflections Seven Months with Gospa!![]() God Alone Suffi ces!It was the 20th October 2005. I was with two friends and prayer companions when my Medjugorje voyage began on the day I joined the “Kraljice Mira” community. It all started in 1998, the year our Blessed Mother prepared me for two special encounters with her and her Son. The first was a pilgrimage to Spain, to the tombs of St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross, and to Garabandal where Our Lady appeared between 1960 and 1964, and only a few weeks later I went on pilgrimage again; this time to Medjugorje where I had not been before. 26 mars 2007 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Reflections Silence! Heaven is Speaking!![]() It is Lent, a time when the Church advises us to live the experience of the desert, to be better prepared for Easter, with an appropriate inner disposition: void of the superfluous and more open to perceive the presence of God, who at Easter, after his Passion and Death on the Cross, will become for us full light, resurrection and glory. It is precisely to this that the Lenten journey invites us. The right tools are needed for the journey. Amongst the means suggested the most important one is fasting, which is the attitude of renouncing something that is dear to us, or good, but which is not strictly necessary for our survival. 26 mars 2007 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Reflections / Author: Sr. Stefania Consoli In a Rush![]() If we stop a moment and listen to the rhythm of life that flows within us, perceived especially by the beating of the heart, we will realize that it is slow, calm and harmonious; unless we have forced it to fasten by a lifestyle which makes us rush. Our paper, the Echo, is sent to many parts of the world, and I hope there are still parts of the world where the folk are not “forced” to live the anxiety of the “developed world” who are caught up in a mechanism of production that threatens them not to stop. 25 mars 2007 / Section: Our Lady of Medjugorje Messages - Category: Monthly Messages Budskap, 25 mars 2007Other languages: English, Български, Català, Čeština, Deutsch, Español, Français, Hrvatski, Italiano, Latviešu, Magyar, Nederlands, Norsk, Polski, Português, Română, Русский, Shqip, Slovenčina, Slovenščina, Suomi, Svenska, Tiếng Việt, زبان_فارسی
18 mars 2007 , Last update 19 mars 2007 / Section: Our Lady of Medjugorje Messages - Category: Mirjana Budskap, 18 mars 2007 - The annual apparition of Our Lady to Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo1 mars 2007 , Originally published juni, 1984 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Visionaries, Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo, Interviews / Author: Fra Tomislav Vlašić, OFM Interview with Mirjana Dragicevic, By Fr. Tomislav Vlasic![]() Medjugorje, January 10, 1983Tomislav Vlasic: Mirjana, we have not seen each other for some time, and I would like you to tell me about the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and especially with the events that are connected to you. Mirjana Dragicevic: I have seen the Blessed Virgin Mary for eighteen months now, and feel I know Her very well. I feel she loves me with Her Motherly love, and so I have been able to ask Her about anything I would like to know. I've asked her to explain some things about Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell that were not clear to me. For example, I asked Her how God can be so unmerciful as to throw people into Hell, to suffer forever. I thought: If a person commits a crime and goes to jail, he stays there for a while and then is forgiven - but to Hell, forever? She told me that souls who go to Hell have ceased thinking favorably of God - have cursed Him, more and more. So they've already become a part of Hell, and choose not to be delivered from it. 1 mars 2007 / Section: Picture & Photo Galleries - Category: Medjugorje Photos - Pictures Gallery Selection of photographs from website Gospa.sk![]() This album contains a selection of photos from a Slovakian Medjugorje website Gospa - Kráľovná pokoja. 25 februari 2007 / Section: Our Lady of Medjugorje Messages - Category: Monthly Messages Budskap, 25 februari 2007Other languages: English, Български, Čeština, Deutsch, Español, Français, Hrvatski, Italiano, Latviešu, Magyar, Nederlands, Norsk, Polski, Português, Română, Русский, Shqip, Slovenčina, Slovenščina, Suomi, Svenska, Tiếng Việt, زبان_فارسی
24 februari 2007 , Originally published februari, 2004 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Visionaries, Vicka Ivankovic-Mijatovic, Interviews / Author: Sr. Emmanuel Vicka Ivankovic about following God's will![]() The village is quiet during these winter months. For many pension owners and the visionaries, less pilgrims means more time spent with family around the wood-burning stove. This past month a woman from China stayed in Medjugorje, with my community. She mentioned that she thought it must be easy for the visionaries to discern what God wants of them. "When you see Our Lady every day", she said, "you know how to follow the right path. But for us, how are we to know the will of God in our lives and how can we be sure not to be mistaken?" I took a chance that Vicka would have some "winter time" to spend with us and would share some insights of hers. She welcomed my friend very kindly. Because she radiates such a heavenly joy and love, one may think she can give a magic recipe for peace! Well, she did draw a clear line to happiness, but indeed nothing magic! 19 februari 2007 , Originally published 20 september 1997 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Shepherds of Church, Medjugorje in the Catholic Church, Testimonies Medjugorje, a Gift from God![]() Soon after the apparitions of the Queen of Peace began at Medjugorje, it came to the attention of the public that the Diocesan and Franciscan priests of the Mostar diocese did not agree on all issues. This quarrel had in fact broken out over one hundred years beforehand, and sadly, still continues today. At a local level, this discrepancy would not have been intensified had Mostar not been an area of intersecting cultures, faiths and civilizations. At a world-wide level, it wouldn't have been so controversial had Our Lady not appeared in one of it's parishes! Undoubtedly this argument affects the stance of the local Church and the Church in the whole of Croatia as regards Our Lady's apparitions. It is important to mention here that in the initial months of the apparitions the local Bishop, Pavao Zanic believed in the authenticity of Our Lady's apparitions and due to reasons, known only to himself, he altered his stance. Wishing to protect Episcopal comradeship, the bishops of the Church of Croatia have refrained from making public statements. Many other Church dignitaries have followed their example. However there have also been some significant exceptions. 19 februari 2007 , Originally published 15 februari 2002 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Testimonies / Author: Sr. Emmanuel Testimony of Teresa![]() One of the guests at Vicka and Mario's wedding, Teresa from Sicily (62 years old) had this to share with us: "I am the twelfth of 14 children. My father used to curse God and beat my mother and us children. We were often hungry and had to sleep 3 to a bed. When I was 9 years old, I received the call to become a nun, but my father would not allow it because he wanted me to work in order to help the family. Later I got married and became lukewarm in my faith. My husband didn’t believe much, but we went to Mass on Sundays." 30 januari 2007 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Medjugorje News / Author: Francesco Cavagna New Year’s Eve at Medjugorje![]() Festivity, recollection, inner joy, and an atmosphere of grace and prayer - just as one would expect at Medjugorje, the land chosen and moulded by Mary to fulfi l her plan of renewal for the Church and mankind – was what made new year’s eve extra special; even if each time of the year at Medjugorje is marked by particular graces. | | ![]() | |
