Medjugorje: Pope Francis appoints a retired bishop of Warszawa-Praga, Msgr Henryk Hoser, as the apostolic visitor

Medjugorje is delighted with the recent decision made by Pope Francis to appoint a retired bishop of Warszawa-Praga, Msgr Henryk Hoser, as the apostolic visitor “with a special role for the parish of Medjugorje for an indefinite time,” reports Večernji List on June 4, 2018.

“We are thankful to God and Our Lady, the Queen of Peace, and to the Holy Father for sending us Archbishop Hoser as the Apostolic Visitor. We welcome Archbishop Hoser,” said Marinko Šakota, the parish priest of Medjugorje, at the end of a mass yesterday. “I invite you all to pray every day for our Holy Father Francis, Archbishop Hoser and his mission in our parish,” added the priest.

Since the news about the appointment was announced just several days ago, the exact date of Hoser's arrival in Medjugorje is still unknown, but it is assumed that this should happen by the end of June, before the anniversary of Medjugorje apparitions. It is even possible that June 25, when the anniversary is officially marked, might be the date of the first official event for the apostolic visitor. He is expected to live in the old parish office where he stayed during his first (and so far only) visit to Medjugorje in March 2017. Continue reading at Total Croatia News

Our Lady's Message to Mirjana - June 2, 2018

"Dear children, I am calling you to accept my words which I am speaking to you as a mother, with a simplicity of heart, so that you may set out on the way of complete light and purity, of the singular love of my Son, man and God.

A joy—a light indescribable in human words—will penetrate your soul and the peace and love of my Son will take hold of you. I desire this for all of my children.

Therefore, you, apostles of my love, you who know how to love and forgive, you who do not judge, you whom I encourage, you be an example to all those who are not going on the way of light and love or who have diverted from it. By your life show them the truth. Show them love because love overcomes all difficulties, and all of my children thirst for love. Your unity in love is a gift to my Son and me.

But, my children, remember that to love also means to desire the good for your neighbor and to desire conversion of your neighbor’s soul.



As I am looking at you gathered around me, my heart is sad, because I see so little brotherly love, merciful love.

My children, the Eucharist—my Son alive among you—His words will help you comprehend, because His word is life, His word makes the soul breathe, His word brings about cognition of love.

Dear children, anew, I am imploring you as a mother who desires the good for her children: love your shepherds, pray for them. Thank you."
