Inner – Provinces Meeting of Franciscan Novices from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republic of Croatia

Meeting was held from October 8 to October 11 in Medjugorje. Hosting Province was Herzegovinian Franciscan Province of Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary and their Novice in Humac. Nineteen novices participated. The meeting started with prayer of the Rosary, Holy Mass and introduction of Novices. Hosts were introduced first, and then Novices from Trsat and Livno were introduced. Novices had opportunity to meet Herzegovinian Franciscan Province and they first went to Mostar where they saw Provincial house and were greeted by Provincial Fr. Ivan Sesar and brothers from the Monastery. After they were introduced to the events and destruction from the time of the recent war, they also saw reconstruction of the Monastery with the emphasis on religious – cultural activities. Novices went afterwards to Siroki Brijeg, and were able to see huge cultural heritage of this Monastery. What followed was trip to Humac, another monastery where they also met brothers and were introduced to the life of this Monastery and saw life of Herzegovinian Seminarians. On the last day they celebrated Holy Mass in Medjugorje parish church, and on behalf of parish community Fr. Petar Vlasic greeted novices and congratulated them on their life choice, wishing them to sustain on the path they had chosen.

Cardinal Dr. Christoph Schonborn about Medjugorje

New release of “Glasnik Mira” is bringing the words of Cardinal Dr. Christoph Schonborn at the end of Prayer Meeting for Peace with visionary Marija Pavlovic Lunetti, held in Vienna Cathedral on September 15, 2009. To all of the gathered faithful, Cardinal, amongst others, said the following: “ It is a huge gift that Mother of God wants to be so close to her children! She had shown that love at many other places in the world, but for many previous years is showing that nearness in Medjugorje. We can be grateful to God, who has through his Mother, taken so many people in last 30 years towards God’s love, for revealing to them God’s love, and because so many had felt healing and renewal. In sacrament of confession they were able to feel love towards Eucharistic Lord, and thanks to His Mother, towards Her, as well. Reconciliation in families, healings from drugs, addictions, and other miseries are Her intentions. It is a huge sign of our time that Mary in such concrete way, from such vicinity, and so simply takes care of Her children and dwells amongst them… Show what you have received and what you constantly receive here through graces from Medjugorje, reflect that and bring it to others.”
