She answered their questions and spoke to them from the heart, which gave me an opportunity to again witness her incredible wisdom. After all, that is her trademark (ask anyone from the village): wisdom grounded in solid common sense! When I came she was speaking to several Italian families who were deeply suffering in their family life. Naturally Vicka responded to their distress by expressing a few observations on family life today: مارس 16 2008 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Spiritual Life Marthe Robin: Imitate, not just Admire![]() She died the year Our Lady’s apparitions at Medjugorje began. She loved the Blessed Virgin, and inspired by her, she adhered to the divine will in a radical way, even when God’s plan asked of her a degree of immolation beyond human capacity. She bore Christ’s wounds, and she let herself be consumed for the salvation of souls. مارس 16 2008 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Spiritual Life Reflections about Marthe Robin -- by Henri Nouwen![]() Excerpt taken from book Letters to Marc About Jesus by Henri Nouwen: Now I´d like to tell you one or two things about her, not just because I happen to be here but because, all along, I´ve been wanting to write to you about Jesus as the hidden God. مارس 8 2008 , Originally published آوريل 1 2001 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Testimonies, Near Death Experiences (NDE) ![]() Fr. Mike and Medjugorje![]() Recently, a group of students from the University of Notre Dame in the USA spent their Spring Break in Medjugorje. While there, they met a priest from Canada, Fr. Mike, who was able to spend time with them sharing his experiences and encouraging them. One night, he shared with them his testimony and a special message : He was ordained at the age of 26, and six months later he was involved in a terrible automobile accident. Upon impact, he found himself below a tunnel of light that he knew was the portal to heaven. He experienced in that moment great joy, and a completeness he had never known. He was going to meet Jesus, and he was filled with peace. But then he became aware that he was being asked to return to his life on earth, that his work was not over. He said he was returning with an incredible desire to tell everyone he met that life is short, that God is real, and that we must not waste a moment on anything less than God. He then woke up in the hospital. مارس 1 2008 , Originally published مارس 15 2001 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Visionaries, Vicka Ivankovic-Mijatovic / Author: Cathy Nolan Vicka about Lent![]() I was overjoyed to hear these incredible insights about Lent that Vicka shared with a pilgrim recently: "Many times we see Lent as a time when we make sacrifices and practice self-denial by giving up coffee, alcohol, chocolate, cigarettes, TV, or whatever we are overly attached to. But we must renounce those things out of love for Jesus and Mary, and be careful not to do it for our own glory. Often we wait for the end of the forty days, only to drink again, to watch TV again, etc. This is not the right way to live Lent! نوامبر 7 2006 , Last update مارس 1 2008 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Early Medjugorje Reflections Books ![]() ![]() Medjugorje Grey Book -- Open Your Hearts to MARY Queen of PeaceOther languages: English, Italiano

After several years of receiving communion in a Catholic church, I was told that I was not allowed to take communion because I was not Catholic! More out of frustration than anything else at the time I joined the Church. I was so busy with my life and was so marginal at both being a Methodist and a Catholic that I could barely tell the difference. My life was all about working in a dog-eat-dog high-tech Company for 50+ hours a week and was full of stress, and anxiety. Then after twenty five years of living in a pressure cooker, the lid flew off. فوريه 17 2008 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Interviews Interview with Father Livio Fanzaga - Radio Maria Italy![]() Christianity before being a doctrine is a personal relationship with GodFather Livio Fanzaga is a priest and a religious, member of the Congregation of the Scolopian Fathers, a Religious Order founded in the 17th century by S. Giuseppe Calasanzio (1557-1648) and customarily dedicated to the apostolate and education of poor children and young people. فوريه 2 2008 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Testimonies Common Priesthood -- by Angelo Scuderi![]() In 1990 I went to Medjugorje for the first time. I was curious to see for myself this extraordinary phenomena of Mary’s apparitions, and I ardently desired “perceiving” her presence, so that I too could feel accepted and loved by Mary. I have always loved our Lord, even as a child, and trusted in Him. I have also sinned much in my life, however this didn’t impede me from turning constantly to God. If He came as the Physician for the sick, why shouldn’t I have brought my ailments to Him? ژانويه 28 2008 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Prayers Living the Gospel with Our Lady -- Daily Spiritual Exercises based on the Medjugorje Messages![]() Beginning Thursday, 31 January 2008The Blessed Virgin Mary began to appear in Medjugorje 24 June 1981. After 20 months of calling her children to conversion by means of prayer, the sacraments and the scriptures, she began a three-year School of Prayer on Thursdays. The programme started the week before Lent in 1984 and concluded in January, 1987. Mgr. George Tutto, a Hungarian priest living in the U.K. since 1953, and who was Spiritual Director to the Medjugorje Apostolate in England and Wales from the 1980s through the mid 1990s, wrote a book entitled “Living the Gospel with Our Lady." Published in 1991, this book linked the 150 weekly messages, given each Thursday by the Queen of Peace, to selected scripture texts to help us live the Gospel with Our Lady. These 150 messages were divided into 3 groups of 50 and each of these into 5 groups of 10 - just like the decades of the Rosary. Our Lady recently stated that we are not praying because we are afraid to open ourselves to prayer. Over the next three years you are invited to make a renewed commitment to take Our Blessed Mother’s messages seriously by Living the Gospel with Our Lady and learning to pray with the heart. The programme is available at Manchester Medjugorje Center website ژانويه 19 2008 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Visionaries, Vicka Ivankovic-Mijatovic / Author: Sr. Emmanuel Vicka’s Return?![]() Around the 1st of January, large crowds of pilgrims once again gathered on the main street in Bijakovici. Vicka, after an absence of nine months for health reasons, returned to the stairs of her blue house to give witness! This year however, we will have to wait until March for her to resume her normal rhythm of speaking three days per week. By then the treatment of her shoulder should be finished. In these last nine months, Vicka has suffered more than usual, but she knows how to remain happy in all situations, even those that are apparently negative. ژانويه 12 2008 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Interviews Interview: Prof. Dr. Mark Miravalle -- professor of Theology and Mariology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville (USA)![]() Prof. Dr. Mark Miravalle, professor of Theology and Mariology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville (USA) is a permanent deacon, a married man and a father of 8 children.
