Vatican recommends: pilgrimage to Medjugorje for strengthening of faith!
In the heart of Medjugorje, Archbishop Aldo Cavalli, the apostolic visitator, speaks urgently about the distinction between spiritual guidelines and religious tourism. In a recent interview on Vatican News has little experiences to offer. "Nothing is offered in religious tourism," says the 78-year-old clergyman. The Vatican has now recognized Medjugorje as a pilgrimage location and people from all over the world are invited to visit this place to harvest spiritual fruits.
The story of Medjugorje goes back to 1981, when six young people from the parish of Bijakovici saw the Blessed Mother appeared. These experiences have been documented by different people over the years and have now become a central part of the Medjugorje history. According to medjugorje.de , the divine presence manifests itself through numerous messages that encourage people to repent, for prayer and during Lent. "Peace has to rule between people and God and among all people!", Was left by the appearance on June 26, 1981 as an essential message

Archbishop Cavalli emphasizes the importance of the "alleged messages", which are expressed by the visionaries. Every time such a message is received, it must be approved by it before it can be published. These messages correspond to faith and are of particular relevance for the life of faith, whereby the guests are called to accept them as a means of meditation. The apostolic visitator has given the clear instructions that the people in Medjugorje pray with a heart and read in the Holy Scripture every day to establish deeper contact with God.
