Message, 25. February 2014

“Dear children! You see, hear and feel that in the hearts of many people there is no God. They do not want Him, because they are far from prayer and do not have peace. You, little children, pray - live God's commandments. You be prayer, you who from the very beginning said `yes` to my call. Witness God and my presence and do not forget, little children: I am with you and I love you. From day to day I present you all to my Son Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Rudolph Karg: „Coming to Medjugorje changed my life”

09.03.2014

Rudolph Karg, 57 years old man from Germany has been coming to Medjugorje ever since the beginning of the apparitions. He witnessed that in 1984 his sister explained Medjugorje in details and he came here because of her. He said that it was that trip that changed his life: "I came here and realised that Gospa has been coming to this place. That was a great gift for me" said Rudolph who together with his friends and organisation had helped many places in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the war.  „We understood all problems and difficulties of people in Bosnia and Herzegovina very quickly. In humility I need to admit it was all because of Medjugorje. I feel blessed to be here. Medjugorje is something really impressive and simple and I got the gift to understand Medjugorje with my heart. I am no longer discussing anything with other people, I only say to them to come and to experience Medjugorje. I always try to bring young people here”. Rudolph also participated in the 21st International Meeting for organisers of pilgrimages, group leaders and prayer and charity groups that was held from March 3-7 in Medjugorje.

07.03.2014

Fr. Marinko Sakota, the parish priest of Medjugorje parish, celebrated Holy Mass on Friday, March 7 and that was at the same time conclusion of the 21st International Seminar for group leaders in Medjugorje. Fr. Marinko, who was the lecturer at this seminar spoke in his homily about things that we were meditating upon in the previous days. “We thought about where and when we make mistakes. That is why we have Mary as a model and that is why the theme of this seminar was “Behold, your Mother”, so we could learn from Her in the way She is doing and in the way She speaks to us. She is doing everything with Jesus, with God. Through all of the topics that we touched, we could see how important it is to live with Jesus. That is what the Queen of Peace is saying to us here.” This encounter gathered around 250 participants from 17 countries and was held from March 3-7, and the programme consisted of lectures, discussions with lecturer, prayers on Cross Mountain and Apparition Hill as well as participating in the evening prayer programme in the church of St. James.

Mother of God – the best pastoral theologian 

Max Domej from Gebetsktion Wien spoke to Cardinal Christoph Schonborn, Archbishop of Vienna, during his visit to Međugorje.
Both in Lourdes and Fatima the events first ceased and than Church had its decision about that. Its final decision. Sooner or later that will take place here as well, but in this case we let Mother of God with freedom of choice...I think that Medjugorje can continue well on their journey, with full trust that Church, Mother and Teacher, in this case, is going to continue to monitor their journey.
