Youth Festival

This morning we got up and went to church early in the morning. Already at 7 the streets were beginning crowded. Oh, yes! It is the first day of Festival. The amazing week of youth starts here in extremely warm Medjugorje. The sun is up, the youth is out and first mass at 7h30 already full with us, little older people.

The main celebration will begin with evening program at 18 and then we will actual be able to say how many people has come. For now we are calculating about 15 ooo.

For us, the Youth Festival is a wonderful week, filed with prayer and singing. We always enjoy it since seeing those young people truly brings hope to many.

I hope it will be all good like last year or even better.

The procession on Tuesday, then Spectacle from Cenacolo , then Way of the Cross and mass at 5 am on the Cross mountain, then stories, lectures... Adoration and holy mass... Wonderful.

Water, umbrella, hat, FM radio with earphones and decent close... If you have all this, you are already ready for your first Youth Festival ...

We have prepared all in our gift shop so you do not have to worry if you have made last minute decision and just went off without getting all these things before coming to Medjugorje.

God bless you all !
