The phenomenon
On the evening of 24 June 1981, (feast of St John the Baptist), in the parish of St James, (patron saint of pilgrims) in Medjugorje, Bosnia/Hercegovina, six young people between the ages of 10 and 16 claimed to have seen the Blessed Virgin Mary standing on a hill. She was holding a new-born baby in her arms and beckoning them to approach her.
That first day was the beginning of alleged daily apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary who identified herself as 'The Queen of Peace' to these six young people - apparitions that have continued daily and lasted up to the present day.
For almost 40 years, these six Croatians claim that the Blessed Mother has been appearing to them and that they have received thousands of messages for Medjugorje and the world to prepare us for the times now upon us - prophesied for centuries.
All six, now adults with families of their own, and who have been subjected to years of medical, theological and scientific studies, still claim daily apparitions. Each of the six visionaries says that he or she has received, or is in the process of receiving, ten secrets.
As a result of these alleged apparitions, more than forty million people of every denomination and creed have visited Medjugorje from all over the world and every walk of life, including presidents and prime ministers, European royalty and Hollywood royalty. A staggering number of signs, wonders and healings have been officially documented by the parish of St James, Medjugorje.
Hundreds of priestly and religious vocations have come about as a direct result of a pilgrimage to Medjugorje; people have returned to their faith after an absence of 30 or 40 years; addictions have been conquered; psychological and emotional wounds have found healing.
As a tree is always known by the fruit it produces, the fruits of Medjugorje cannot be ignored. Pilgrims have found it to be an extraordinary encounter and one of the most spiritually significant experiences of their lives.
Footnote: We acknowledge and accept that the authority regarding the authenticity of apparitions as well as all private revelations from Our Lord, Our Lady or any saint rests with the Holy See of Rome whose final judgement we respect and obey. We also affirm our total allegiance to our One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, our priests and bishops and our Holy Father, Pope Francis.
Medjugorje is located in the Hercegovina region of western Bosnia and Hercegovina, around 25 km southwest of Mostar and close to the border with Croatia (former Yugoslavia). Medjugorje today has a population of over 4,000, is at an altitude of 22m (660 ft) above sea level and has a mild, Mediterranean climate.
Frequent flights throughout the summer are scheduled to Split and Dubrovnik from various european cities, the United Kingdom and Ireland. Ferry sailings depart from various italian ports across the Adriatic Sea.
"I have come to tell the world that God exists. He is fullness of life and to enjoy this fullness and obtain peace, you have to return to God."
