The Quantity Of Concelebrations By Monks Was Likewise Record-High In Passing 40,000, Also For The 1st Time.

In 2011, the total number of Holy Communions distributed during Mass in Medjugorje went above 2 million for the 1st time. The number of concelebrations by priests was similarly record-high in passing 40,000, also for the 1st time.

Monks were involved in two Medjugorje records in 2011 : Never previously did so many of them come – and never previously did they disburse so many Holy Communions to parishioners and travellers

2,027,900 Holy Communions would be adequate if all of the inhabitants of Houston, Texas, were to get the Body of Christ one time each. Yet the number does not derive from Houston, but from Medjugorje where more than two million distributed Holy Communions in one year was registred for the 1st time in 2011.

The number climbed from 1,571,800, a rise of twenty-nine p.c matched against 2010 which was itself a record year. 1,378,600 Holy Communions were distributed in Medjugorje in 2009, according to parish stats.

A record breaking number of monks distributed the more than 2,000,000 Holy Communions. 41,094 concelebrations of Mass were registred in Medjugorje in 2011, up from 38,227 the year before. The figures aren’t detailed of the particular number of visiting priests, as most concelebrate more than one Mass during their stay in Medjugorje.

The present Medjugorje boom in Italy accounts for some of the progress, though not all of it. 8,171 Italian concelebrations took place in 2011, up from 7,270 the year before and 4,718 in 2009.

Medjugorje is one of the towns of the Western Herzegovina municipality of Citluk in the former Yugoslavia. The name Medjugorje is Slavic and means “area between two moutains”. This true story occurs in the Bijakovici section of Medjugorje. On the afternoon of June twenty-four, 1981, two girls, Ivanka Ivankovic, age fifteen, and Mirjana Dragicevic, age 16, were returning home from a walk. Looking towards the hill called Crnica, Ivanka saw a bright silhouette of a girl. She revealed to Mirjana, “It is the Gospa!” ( Our Woman ).

On June 25, the two girls returned to the hill with four others. Their names are, Vicka Ivankovic, age 16, Ivan Dragivevic, age 16, Maria Pavlovic, age 16 and Jakov Colo, age 10. A figure in white was calling them to come up the hill. The children were somehow transported in some mysterious way to a gorgeous Woman who calls herself, the Queen of Peace. The Woman gives messages to the seers for the entire world. To date, the Queen of Peace has left thousands of messages. Initially, the messages were almost everyday. Now, for the last several years, they come on the 25th of each month.

The idealists describe Our Woman as beautiful beyond words ; radiant with holiness. Her conversations with the children have taken the type of motherly sensitiveness and love, and she has taken the role of both mum and catechist in advising and directing their lives. She greets them with, “Praised be Jesus, my dear children.” At the end of the apparition she says, “Go in peace, my dear children.” She appears to the 6 visionaries as a 3D real image and always appears amid brilliant flashes of light. Her appearances usually take place about 6:40 pm each day. In Medjugorje, thousands of people come daily at this time to take part in the event with prayer, song, the rosary and the Mass, which is commonly concelebrated by thirty or even more priests. The entire evening service lasts about three hours. And this has been occuring daily since 1981! – as reported tagza.com
