Medjugorje and the Vatican, it had never happened in history

It had never happened in history. There was an initiative promoted by the Holy See at the Shrine of Mary Queen of Peace of Medjugorje.

This afternoon, in the church born in the place of the alleged Marian visions of the six seers of Medjugorje in fact, a stage of the rosary 'marathon' wanted by Pope Francis will take place for the entire month of May - month of the Madonna - in sanctuaries scattered across five continents to call for an end to the pandemic.

In fact, the Santa Thirst and Pope Francis have set themselves the goal of preserving the heritage of faith (and of numerous conversions) nourished by the Sanctuary in Bosnia, destination for 40 years of millions of pilgrims, even if now we are witnessing a stop because it is stopped due to Covid-19.

Papa Francesco, in May two years ago, to give the green light to the organization of pilgrimages to Medjugorje, which until then the dioceses and parishes could only promote in a "private" form.

Pope Bergoglio himself, in August of last year, sent his message for the meeting of young people that took place in Medjugorje: and that too was a first time.

The Shrine of the Queen of Peace was selected by the Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization among the 30 from all over the world who in this month alternate in the daily recitation of the rosaries opened by the Pope on May 1st to ask for the end of the pandemic and the recovery social and work activities. In particular, today in the Medjugorje church people will pray for migrants.
