Today the papal envoy for Medjugorje, Archbishop Henryk Hoser. confirmed that ‘official’ pilgrimages to Medjugorje (that is at diocesan level) are to be allowed.
Many years ago a local man gave a prophecy that Medjugorje would one day find itself underwater. Today’s announcement will open the flood-gates, long-awaited by the parish.
I just hope there is enough competition among tour companies to keep the prices at a reasonable level.
There is always a surplus of accommodation at Medjugorje except for Easter, the June anniversary and the Youth Festival. Hopefully, the anticipated boom will help the smaller householders to make a bob or two in the future.
Speaking about water... the often heard criticism about Medjugorje not being approved doesn’t wash anymore... with this announcement regarding ‘official’ pilgrimages it is clear that Medugorje is approved. Now the critics will need to be more precise with their language, and if they say that the apparitions are not approved just ask them which apparitions and wait for the silence.
