After the apparition, the visionary Ivanka said:
Our Lady remained with me for 10 minutes and spoke to me of the tenth secret. Our Lady said: Dear children, I call you to be apostles of peace. Peace, peace, peace.
Dear friends and family of Medjugorje, as Our Lord 28 years ago through Our Mother the Queen of Peace blessed this village and all of us, I am asking for a blessing upon all of you today for this day of the 28th anniversary of Our Lady's presence here.
Traditionally the morning before the day of the anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady in Medjugorje a walk for peace is conducted. This walk starts in the parish of Humac (town of Ljubuski) where the people gather in front of the church of St. Anthony at 5 in the morning. Father Danko Perutine guided the large group (2000 - 3000). The distance between the two parishes is about 20 km (13 miles). Some walk bearfoot and some on their knees, the group arrived Medjugorje at around 10. Fr. Vjeko Milićević conducted the service of the adoration to the most holy Eucharistfor 30 minutes.

As you all know, we've celebrated Corpus Christi yesterday, the evening mass was celebrated at the usual time (7:00 pm) Fr. Svetozar was the main celebrant. After the holy mass a procession was formed with the altar boys leading, about 60 priests followed. Fr. Svetozar Kraljevic carried the monstrance until the first stop then Fr. Stjepan Martinovic took over until we reached the second stop where Fr. Svetozar took over again until we reached the Church. I have attached two photos that show the number of people that joined the procession and attended the service.
Good afternoon, just a short newsflash to share this with you all. The first part of the memorial for the victims of the WWII and the recent war for the people that gave their lives for the freedom of the Croatian people that lived in our parish. This 9.5 meter (31feet) tall cross and another 2 meters (6.5 feet) in the ground as the foundation was built out of reinforced concrete and erected last night. The location that was chosen is located half way up from the church to the Cross Mountain next to the recently built childrens playground and the mini soccer court. The second part to come soon will be a marble monument with the names of the victims. At that time the surrounding of the memorial and the cross it self will get the final furnishing touches and for now here is a photo of the cross.
One day a while back, a man, his heart heavy with grief, was walking in the woods.
As he thought about his life this day, he knew many things were not right.
He thought about those who had lied about him back when he had a job.
His thoughts turned to those who had stolen his things and cheated him.
He remembered family that had passed on.
His mind turned to the illness he had, that no one could cure..
His very soul was filled with anger, resentment, and frustration.
Hello all, I just wanted to share an article published by the The Catholic Herald (UK) June last year, I've seen the link to this article circulating but I never published. I don't exactly know why but at the time, I must have had a reason. Anyway, it is an interesting article, all credit goes to the The Catholic Herald (UK) - linked below.

Some of you know and some are new to this but there is an annual retreat for priests organized here in Medjugorje. The local priests do their best to prepare the program with different lectures an services and a good proof that they are doing this good is the fast that the number of priests attending is constantly going up. As far as I remember there were over 700 priests for that week of July 2008.
It is 2009, July is two months away and the parish is preparing for this event (among other events) again. The program was released and the instructions and how to apply are on the same page, please click here.

Father Gabriel Amorth, Chief Exorcist of the Vatican writes: One day a colleague of mine heard the devil say during an exorcism, "Every Hail Mary is like a blow on my head. If Christians knew how powerful the Rosary was, it would be my end." The secret that makes this prayer so effective is that the Rosary is both prayer and meditation. It is addressed to the Father, to the Blessed Virgin, and to the Holy Trinity, and is a meditation centered on Christ. I write in addition to the above: Please enunciate each word of the Rosary clearly and distinctly. Do not trample on the heels of the words of anyone with your words. Do not speak over the leader if you are following or the respondent if you are leading the Rosary. Remember that they also are having a conversation with Mary Our Mother and it is not polite to speak when someone else is speaking.

MARIAN CONSECRATION
I, (name), a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today in your hands, O Immaculate Mother, the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before.
In the presence of all the heavenly court, I choose you this day for my Mother and Queen. I deliver and consecrate to you, as your slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present, and future; leaving to you the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to your good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and eternity. Amen. >> St. Louis Marie de Montfort
