Dear children! I am calling you because I need you. I need hearts ready for immeasurable love – hearts that are not burdened by frivolity – hearts that are ready to love as my Son loved – that are ready to sacrifice themselves as my Son sacrificed Himself. I need you. In order to come with me, forgive yourselves, forgive others and adore my Son. Adore Him also for those who have not come to know Him, those who do not love Him. Therefore, I need you; therefore, I call you. Thank you.
As you all know and I've written about this before, the seminar for priests has started a few days ago. There is a great number of priests attending, I believe the number is close to 400. The program is going forward acordingly. You can take a look at the program by clicking here.
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.
“Dear children! Rejoice with me, convert in joy and give thanks to God for the gift of my presence among you. Pray that, in your hearts, God may be in the center of your life and with your life witness, little children, so that every creature may feel God’s love. Be my extended hands for every creature, so that it may draw closer to the God of love. I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
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 children’s 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.
Dear children! My love seeks your complete and unconditional love, which will not leave you the same as you are, instead it will change you and teach you to trust in my Son. My children, with my love I am saving you and making you true witnesses of the goodness of my Son. Therefore, my children, do not be afraid to witness love in the name of my Son. Thank you.
Think your thoughts in my mind. Love, through my heart.
Give me your dispositions and feelings.
Teach, lead and guide me to Jesus.
Correct, enlighten and expand my thoughts and behavior.
Possess my soul. Take over my entire personality and life.
Replace it with yourself.
Incline me to constant adoration and thanksgiving.
Pray in me and through me.
Let me live in you and keep me in this union always.
>> Pope John Paul II

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
