Fra Jozo Grbeš on the occasion of the 42nd anniversary of the apparition: Medjugorje is today the hope of a dead Europe

Therefore, when you return home, when you come back home, when you are again in the same place and with the same people, become apostles who live what they experience and believe what they say: 'Yes, it is possible'. Everything is possible with Him! Everything is easier with Mary. Let's start again when we get home", were the words with which Fr. Jozo Grbeš concluded his homily celebrating the Holy Mass on the 42nd anniversary of Our Lady's apparitions in Medjugorje. (PHOTO)

OUR LADY’S ANNUAL APPARITION TO IVANKA - JUNE 25, 2023

Easter message of the Apostolic Visitor with a special role for the parish of Medjugorje, Archbishop Aldo Cavalli

I wish you all the best, for you and for me.  However, in this season of Easter, everyone should devote some time, a few hours, to a deep meditation on what Easter is and that means: Christ died for our sins.  This is how we will understand the value of the Cross.  Yet that is to understand that the Lord Jesus, who died for our sins, was buried and resurrected, by the grace of God, by the will of God, is alive!  And that is the transition, Passover - the transition of the Son of God among us.  In the communion we have with Him, in prayer and contemplation, we must make the same transition with Him: enter into the death of sin, and rise again, and enter a new life of conversion and grace.

Like Peter and John, let us run to the empty tomb full of faith, to be assured in Christ's love for us, to be assured in God's faithfulness to the eternal covenant made with the blood of Christ!  Like faithful women, let's announce the good news of the resurrection to the whole world!  As children of the resurrection, let us spread hope, joy and love in this world!  May the Risen One endow us all with his peace!
