![]() They are the brothers and sisters of “Nuovi Orizzonti” (New Horizons). Founded in Italy, this community is comprised of "survivors”: young men and women who have made the descent into hell, (all too frequent among today’s youth), and have come back to life with Jesus and Mary. But how? مه 15 2006 , Originally published مارس, 2005 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Visionaries, Jelena Vasilj, Interviews / Author: Sr. Stefania Consoli Jelena Interviewed - Our Lady told us the truth![]() Jelena, you have been absent from the pages of Echo for some time. What has been happening in your life lately? Who is Jelena today?We’re expecting our third child, but the pregnancy hasn’t been going according to previsions, and I’ve been confined to total rest. But I’ve seen how this condition of immobility regards my body only, while my spirit has been able to broaden out continually. So this has been a time of grace for me, because love has two sides to it. There is the joy and the enthusiasm of giving, even though this is accompanied by the cross, but it is when the cross is accepted, that our joy is even deeper. Then, everything is okay. It seems as though life should be always downhill to be true – or that’s how we imagine it. However, I am coming to understand ever more how suffering is our true life. So I can say that right now I am living this “true life.” مه 15 2006 , Originally published مارس, 2006 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Medjugorje and Vatican, Theology reports / Author: Pope Benedict XVI Pope’s First Encyclical - A God who is Only Love![]() A pope’s first encyclical is said to be programmatic, a kind of manifesto of the style that Peter’s successor desires giving to the Church during his pontificate. And how could one not see in the title of Pope Benedict’s document the will to begin from the foundation of Christianity: God is love (1Jn 4:16), so that this humanity ever more divided amid the sea of options proposed by society might be shown the tracks that lead to God. مه 15 2006 , Originally published مارس, 2006 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Medjugorje and Vatican, Theology reports / Author: Pope Benedict XVI Pope sings Mary’s praises![]() Benedict concludes his Encyclical with praise for Mary, “Mother of the Lord and mirror of all holiness.” To Mary, who knitted love into every moment of her life, who became the mother of Love, are dedicated the last words of his letter on love. His words are full of grace and tender love for the little woman of Nazareth. مه 14 2006 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Medjugorje.ws news / Author: Marek Gayer Dutch language supported in Messages section![]() مه 9 2006 , 11:14 ق.ظ , Originally published ژانويه, 2006 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Spiritual Life, Reflections / Author: Sr. Stefania Consoli Beyond time and space![]() Beyond all possible thoughts and imagination. Beyond all possible capabilities and merits. Beyond all possible plans. Such is Mary’s presence at Medjugorje. She is present, beyond all possible human logic; beyond all possible will to keep or ignore her; beyond all possible human law and reasoning. مه 9 2006 , 11:13 ق.ظ , Originally published ژانويه, 2006 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Priests of Medjugorje, Interviews / Author: Fra Tomislav Vlašić, OFM Interview of Fr. Tomislav - Twenty five years with Mary![]() This year is the 25th anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions at Medjugorje. You were a witness of the extraordinary events of the first years. In the light of your personal journey and your priestly experience, what memories awake in you today?With regards to my past years in Medjugorje, not a lot of things come to mind right now. In 1985 I began gradually withdrawing from Medjugorje to live in contemplation. As my relationship with God grew deeper there was an awakening of the memory of my soul, that space where the Holy Spirit was able to assume the role of main actor, to reveal the Mystery. In this memory there’s not so much the phenomena of Medjugorje, but rather the divine truth of the living and true God, and the Mother of God who is present in and works in us. It is the truth of the Church. مه 5 2006 , 12:13 ق.ظ , Originally published ژانويه, 2006 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Spiritual Life / Author: Beverley K. Drabsch Sr. Maria Consolata Betrone - "Jesus, Mary, I love You, Save Souls"![]() In the message of 25 July 2005 There are countless brief and ardent prayers. Perhaps we all have a favourite one we like to repeat more frequently. It would be an ardent task to find the origins of each, but I think it is fair to say that they are all inspired by God’s Spirit of Love; by Love for Love, for love of souls and love of us. One such inspiration was given to the Servant of God Sr. Maria Consolata Betrone (1903-1946, Italy) after reading St. Therese of Lisieux’s Story of a Soul. Consolata herself was granted mystical experiences, but she is particularly remembered for her “very small way” which can be summed up in the following three points which are the nucleus of Our Lord’s instructions to her: مه 5 2006 , 11:25 ق.ظ , Originally published ژانويه, 2006 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Spiritual Life / Author: Cristina Palici Sr. Maria Consolata Betrone - "In the womb of the Church you will be trust"![]() In Christian mysticism a victim soul is by no doubt the highest state one could aspire to. In a certain sense, one could say it was both a compendium of all vocations, and a crown upon them all. But we must understand the meaning of victim. A victim soul is a person who offers himself willingly, and even if he is to suffer, he does not offer himself to suffering itself, but to the Man of sorrows, out of love, to share in His passion of love. Yes, he is a person who sacrifices himself, but in the sense given by the Old Covenant: that is, to offer a sacred gift to God. آوريل 21 2006 , Originally published مارس, 2000 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Visionaries, Vicka Ivankovic-Mijatovic, Interviews Interview of Vicka by Fr. Livio for Radio Maria![]() Vicka: ... When you look at Our Lady the beauty of her face is so wonderful that words can't describe it. She herself has said that she is beautiful because she loves. This is the way we must be beautiful - above all, beautiful inside - so that our faces can radiate this beauty too... Unfortunately, we hide our faces behind many types of masks; we hide everything inside.. We have to begin to love to be beautiful. With all our hearts we should begin by loving those in our homes, our family and then the others around us. True beauty is spiritual beauty. آوريل 20 2006 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Visionaries, Vicka Ivankovic-Mijatovic, Interviews The trip of Vicka in the afterlife![]() Vicka: ... Just entered, we have gone on, walking, perhaps three, four meters. We have not visited the whole Heaven, but the Gospa has made sense of it. We have seen a great space wound by a light that it doesn't exist here on the earth. We have seen the people that are neither fat, neither thin, but all equal ones and they have dresses of three colors: the grey , the yellow and the pink. The people walk, sing, pray. There were some small flying Angels. The Gospa has told us: "Look at how much the people are happy in the Heaven". And a joy that cannot be described and that here on the earth it doesn't exist. آوريل 11 2006 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Medjugorje.ws news / Author: Marek Gayer New address of the web Our Lady of Medjugorje![]() آوريل 2 2006 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Medjugorje News, Festival Mladifest The 17th International Youth Festival Mladifest – Medjugorje 2006![]() The 17th International Youth Festival - Mladifest 17 – will take place in Medjugorje from August 1st to August 6th, 2006. The theme of the encounter is, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Ps 119 [118]:105) ( “Dear children … witness with your life that you believe and live the Word of God.” - Message of January 25, 2006 فوريه 14 2006 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Interviews, Testimonies Interview: David Ianni, Pianist and Composer from Luxembourg![]() What touches young people most in Medjugorje? What attracts them?Their longing for peace, their thirst for the truth. The world deceives us so often. The media emphasise mostly negative things. Young people are very much manipulated in the area of sexuality, and attacked in their souls. This can lead to severe consequences if their faith has not been strengthened beforehand. The message of Medjugorje awakens in them a longing for true peace, and probably for God and for the family... for intact families. Many people come from broken families nowadays. It is very rare that one finds a family, where the love of the neighbour is really lived, where there is prayer, where parents do not divorce after the first difficulty. But, in my opinion, what draws them mostly to Medjugorje is their longing for God, and the longing to find a meaning to their lives. Here you can meet Mary and Christ more intensely than at home. Another important factor is that young people meet other young people, whom they perceive to have found peace, and to have immersed more deeply in the spiritual life. دسامبر 4 2005 / Section: Medjugorje News & Articles - Category: Testimonies, Interviews, Medjugorje in the Catholic Church Interview: Mons. José Domingo Ulloa Mendieta, O.S.A., auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Panama![]() Dragan Soldo: You went on pilgrimage to many other great Marian shrines. Can you say something about the specificity of Medjugorje?Mons. José Domingo Ulloa: The specificity of Medjugorje is the gift of peace received here. This is what humanity is longing for today, and this gift is received in Medjugorje through our Mother Mary. It is not only about inner peace, but also about discovering that we are all brothers, and that conflicts and violence are not a solution. This peace should be shared with others. | | ![]() | |
