There is a lot of information and questions about Medjugorje, and very often the answer is silence, mockery or rejection. It is happening now, and if it is true, we’re going to miss it.
It is important to bear in mind that, as far as apparitions are concerned, the Church will never rule in favor of its authenticity while the event is still occurring, since it would be a lack of prudence. Doing it would be like making a critique of a film while it is still rolling, or opening a process of canonization of someone who is still alive; something unwise.
The Catholic Church observes and waits, prudently and wisely, but that doesn’t mean that people can’t go and live the experience; that would mean losing the opportunity, going when it’s over.
Catholic Church has been taking steps in Medjugorje during all these years, we have to have in mind that the Virgin started appearing in Medjugorje more than 40 years ago. Among the last steps taken by the Church we can mention the authorization to carry out pilgrimages organized by the Church, parishes, bishops or anyone who wishes to organize them, the designation of Henrik Hoser, Archbishop Emeritus of Warsaw, as permanent apostolic visitor in Medjugorje, the active participation of Bishops, Archbishops and Cardinals in Medjugorje activities, such as Cardinal Robert Sarah in the Youth Festival 2021 or the appointment in November 2021 of Msgr. Aldo Cavalli as special apostolic visitor for the Medjugorje parish replacing Bishop Henryk Hoser, who died on August 10 of that same year.
The most beautiful and interesting experience people has in Medjugorje, today and until the church gives its verdict, is that each person who goes there have to consider, in a personal and intimate way, if Our Lady is effectively appearing at this place.
Medjugorje is not just for Catholics; it is for brave people who have the courage to open their hearts there, because if this place is true, it demands concrete answers.
Our Lady, in one of her messages, told Marija that all the pilgrims who go to Medjugorje do so because She personally has invited them. p>
Every pilgrim that goes to Medjugorje, goes because, in one way or another, She invited him.
<
Every pilgrim knows his reasons to go to Medjugorje and it is his personal decision to accept or reject the call.
Medjugorje is just an invitation waiting for your answer. You can accept it or reject it.
Although we think that, feeling like going there and not doing it is like being invited to the most special party of your life, and just decide to stay at home watching TV…
