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 Eucharist for 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. 

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.

John Ellis says Catholics should keep an open mind about the claims of the town's 'seers'

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. 

Dear friends, I just wanted to reflect for a minute, as you all know, today is Good Friday or as some call it Great Friday, today we commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus. The day of the most severe suffering of our Savior. He undertook all of this for our salvation. Here in Medjugorje and in this region we try to commemorate this day in strict fasting on bread and water. As usual, the parish climbs the Cross Mountain on Fridays at 2 pm but today, the program was altered a bit. Organized climbing for the Germans took place at 7:30, for the English speaking at 8:30 and for the Italians at 9:30 and at 11:00 the Croatians and others. I went up at 11 as well. The group was quite large, if I had to guess I would say 7000 participants. Fr. Stijepan Martinovic conducted the prayer of the Was of the Cross, Fr. Danko Perutina and Brother Josip Katalinic helped. The boys from the Merciful Father community did a good job carrying the big speakers up.
