GOOD NEWS! (on Mother's Day! :-) )
Pope Francis authorizes pilgrimages to MEDJUGORJE! (EN) ~ Vatican news, May 12, 2019
 (HR) Papa Franjo odobrio hodočašća u Međugorje 

Pope Francis has decided to authorize pilgrimages to Medjugorje, which can now be officially organized by dioceses and parishes and will no longer take place only in a private capacity which as has so far been the case. The announcement was made today during Mass, at the parish shrine which has become a destination for millions of pilgrims, by the Apostolic Nuncio Luigi Pezzuto in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Archbishop Henryk Hoser, the Holy See's Special Apostolic Visitator.

Lent 2019 PRAY THE ROSARY

PRAY PRAY PRAY! (EN)-(HR) MOLITE MOLITE MOLITE! ~Our Lady, Medjugorje

"The Rosary is a magnificent and universal prayer for the needs of the Church, the nations and the entire world." ~ Pope John XXIII 

(ENGLISH)"great wealth of #Medjugorje is that all the mysteries are prayed every day. That is true (religious instruction), because the mysteries of the rosary are the mysteries of the lives of Christ and Mary." 

~ Papal Apostolic Visitor to Medjugorje, Msgr Hoser

(HRVATSKI)"veliko bogatstvo Medjugorje to da se svaki dan mole sva otajstva. To je prava kateheza, zato sto su otajstva krunice, otajstva zivota Krista i Marije."

Pray the rosary during Lent to learn how to lift yourself up spiritually through the example of Jesus Christ's life, each mystery a lesson and encouragement. 

Let's answer the call of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Gospa, in Medjugorje, to pray the rosary, (or whatever prayers you can start with)... concentrate with our hearts so that we are in communion with her Son, Jesus Christ, and can hear the love of God's will in our soul.

As all pilgrims who travel with Mir-Peace pilgrimage tour group to this "heaven on earth", to this Catholic Church parish in Bosnia Hercegovina learn to say in Croatian:

"Hvaljen Isus i Marija!" :-) "Praise be Jesus and Mary!"

Papal Medjugorje Visitor on Prayer of the rosary mysteries... and Silence

What does the Roman Catholic Church's, Vatican Papal Apostolic Visitor say about prayer of the rosary in Medjugorje? And what of silence. -- Monsignor Hoser was 1 of speakers at a spiritual renewal event in Medjugorje on March 9, 2019. See excerpts below :-) 
Our Lady, Gospa, 2006: "In silence may the Holy Spirit speak to you. Permit Him to convert and change you." ... "pray the rosary." 

(HRVATSKI) mons. Henryk Hoser održao predavanje na temu, "Rast u duhovnosti" ... "veliko bogatstvo Međugorja to da se svaki dan mole sva otajstva" krunica... 
Article link in Croatian language: http://radio-medjugorje.com/3764-mons-hoser-na-duhovnoj-obnovi-trecarima-bog-progovara-u-tisini?fbclid=IwAR3GJCvemexIxhMHzhnQxfkT3cgoA1M1oyODBMJoxJved07BEBALfzWuqNk

February stats in Medjugorje: # of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 781 (27 per day) ! Good fruits!
(ENGLISH) Msgr Henryk Hoser, appointed by Pope Francis to be the Apostolic Visitor in Medjugorje, gave a talk with the theme, "Grow in spirituality." Among other things he referred to the concern that there are less priests in Western European countries: "...A Church without priests is a Church without the Eucharist. Church without the Eucharist is a Church without food," as he was stressing the importance of the sacraments. He mentioned through the sacraments young people are being called to be witnesses for Jesus Christ. 
In mentioning the #rosary he said, "great wealth of#Medjugorje is that all the mysteries are prayed every day. That is a true catechesis (religious instruction), because the mysteries of the rosary are the mysteries of the lives of Christ and Mary."

Our Lady, Gospa, 2006: "In silence may the Holy Spirit speak to you. Permit Him to convert and change you."
At the end of his lecture, Mons. Hoser said he's noticed that people today walk around with (earpieces/headsets) & then don't pay attention to the sounds around them.: "People today are panic ((strongly)) afraid of silence. But God speaks (to us) in silence. I wish for and recommend that silence for you."

No. He sent back a delegate who is positive about the parish and genuine apparitions by Gospa (Our Lady Queen of Peace, Mother of God in Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary) to the visionaries.

"There is a Light in Medjugorje." 

Gospa is helping us ti see the light through prayer and reading meditating on the Gospel, New Testament, and coming closer to God Our Father through the Light of the World, Jesus. We can each share that light, be a light, by living in love as that role model and emulating Christ's life. Thank God! Alleluia.
