When someone is talking about Medjugorje , then it is not only a talk about a town in Herzegovina that carries this name. It is more than that, it is about the movement that was activated when six young people revealed that Virgin Mary, called Gospa in Croatian, appeared to them on 24th of June 1981.
This movement lasts until today as well as the appearances of Virgin Mary. She is still giving messages to the visionaries until today. This movement can be divided into four important categories. These categories can be described as this:
Firstly, this is a movement of pilgrimage. Until today, many millions of people from all over the world have come to this place of pilgrimage to pray and to feel the spirit of this magic place.
Secondly, the small place Medjugorje represents a movement of peace. Many people say that they have experienced the gift of peace in their hearts and they are ready to pass this peace on to others in their proximity, in their marriage and their family, in their neighbourhood, in their circle of friends, their community and their working place. They are motivated by their own experience of peace and of course by the name which OurLady "Gospa" used to introduce Herself to the visionaries : I am the Queen of Peace.
You should experience this by yourself, stay at a comfortabel Medjugorje hotel , and feel the power of this special place.
Thirdly, Medjugorje can also be called a movement of renewal, which permanently renews the spiritual life of people. There is a great number of people who claim that they have made deep spiritual experiences. Some people experienced a kind of physical and spiritual healing, others experienced conversions, resuming of prayer and faith, impulses for fasting or liberation from addictions.
One sign of these renewals is the fact that people start to build prayer groups after their return from Medjugorje to their homes. There are numerous groups which were buildet by the pilgrims in their communities. It is a place where they meet, usually once or twice a week, for prayer and adoration, to pray the rosary, to read or to discuss Christians topics.
And the fourth and last aspect: Medjugorje became a symbol for a movement of humanitarian aid, which is unique. This became especially obvious when the Balkan war began. It was unbelievable, but millions of pilgrims, who had received spiritual gifts in Medjugorje, started to show their gratefulness by helping people at this place materially. They sent food, clothes, medicines and other goods, they helped with money and by aiding orphans and war victims.
We hope that we were able to explain in this executive summary what is meant when someone talks about Medjugorje as being a movement.
It should also be mentioned that this movement has been filled with the messages, which the Virgin Mary has given to the visionaries, and still is giving to them. These messages of Medjugorje consist usually only of few sentences and are initiations to make the five original messages more concrete: faith, conversion, prayer, fasting, and of course peace.
Enjoy you time at a comfortable Medjugorje hotel in this fascinating place and feel the magic.
