We make our way through the vineyards toward the Parish of Santiago Apóstol, where our local guide—well-versed in the customs and faith of the community—will be waiting for us.

We will take a guided tour of the Parish with our guide and priest, engaging in meditations before the image of the Risen Christ, the Tomb of Father Slavko, and other sites.

DAY 4 to 8

MEDJUGORJE

In the coming days, we will travel to Shurmanci, home to the relics of Sister Faustina and a painting of the Merciful Jesus—the very image before which the miraculous healing of Hugo Festa took place when the painting was housed in Trento. We will ask the Merciful Jesus for the physical and spiritual healing of each one of us.

We will ascend the Hill of Apparitions, where our guide will recount the events of the first days of the apparitions while we stand at the foot of the Cross. Afterward, we will continue our ascent with the priest, meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary and thus commencing our itinerant Healing Retreat.

We will attend a personal testimony given by one of the key figures of this sacred site, who will offer us insight into the importance of living out the messages with our hearts.

We will climb Mount Krizevac, crowned by a cross erected by the Croatian people in 1933. Enshrined within it are relics of the True Cross, brought here from Rome. We will make our ascent meditating on the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus, praying for a spiritual rebirth.

We will then transfer to the "Mother’s Village," where we will celebrate the Eucharist in the Garden of Saint Francis. This is a sanctuary where Father Slavko—responding to the ravages of war—chose to provide shelter to orphaned, abandoned, and wounded children. We will walk along a path lined with pine trees and birdsong, entering a small grove where our hearts will beat with the hope of a new land—of a true home.

We will visit Tihaljina, home to the renowned statue of the Queen of Peace. Here, we will celebrate the Eucharist.

Finally, we will attend the testimonies of Nancy and Patrick, as well as those of the young people from the Cenacle; listening to their stories will enlighten us and set us upon a new path.
