One of Mejdugorje villages is Surmanci, where an icon of the Divine Mercy is displayed. Every Friday father dr. John Chisholm is leading prayers and devotions before the famouse icon of Divine Mercy. This icon is special because the miraculous healing took place to the person who was praying before it. The case has been used in the proces of beatification and canonisation of sister Faustina. Village is on about 15 min drive from the centre of the village to the east (behind Podbrdo- Apparition Hill)
The program on Friday starts with Divine Mercy rosary chanted by father John, then we celebrate holy mass and at aprx. 15 (3pm) the way of the Cross is prayed. (It is 2h program)
This summer pilgrims would meet in front of the parish house every Friday at 13 (1 pm) and then would take taxi to go to Surmanci.
We had a great time, my group and I and I whish all pilgrims could have this oportunity to visit Surmanci and pray before Divine Mercy icon.
Chapel also has small relic of sister Faustina displayed.
Dear Emmanuel
ReplyDeleteI have a wonderful photo taken of Fr John and me in Medjugorje. He is a wonderful warrior for the Blessed Mother and promoter of Divine Mercy!
In the photo, there is a VERY interesting reflection in the glass of the picture behind him!
Let me know if I can send it to you.

I am enjoying your 'blog'! We also had snow today here in Vermont -- but we expect it here in the cold mountains of New England (USA)!
Peace be with you and your loved ones.
