I Beg to Differ (What is Medjugorje?)
Medjugorje ^ | 12/02/2013 | Medjugorje

Our Lady Queen of Peace of Medjugorje’s December 2, 2013 Apparition and Message Given through Mirjana on the Day for Nonbelievers

The following is the message Our Lady gave through Mirjana during her apparition:

“Dear children, with a motherly love and a motherly patience I am looking at your ceaseless wandering and how lost you are. That is why I am with you. I desire to help you to first find and come to know yourself, so that, then, you would be able to recognize and to admit everything that does not permit you to get to know the love of the Heavenly Father, honestly and wholeheartedly. My children, the Father comes to be known through the cross. Therefore, do not reject the cross. Strive to comprehend and accept it with my help. When you will be able to accept the cross you will also understand the love of the Heavenly Father; you will walk with my Son and with me; you will differ from those who have not come to know the love of the Heavenly Father, those who listen to Him but do not understand Him, those who do not walk with Him - who have not come to know Him. I desire for you to come to know the truth of my Son and to be my apostles; that, as children of God, you may rise above the human way of thinking and always, and in everything, seek God’s way of thinking, anew. My children, pray and fast that you may be able to recognize all of this which I am seeking of you. Pray for your shepherds and long to come to know the love of your Heavenly Father, in union with them. Thank you.”

I saw this website on someone's bumper sticker as I was waiting in the drive-thru at KFC. Went to the website and saw what it is. Can anybody explain what this movement is? Is this considered constat de supernaturalitate or non constat de supernaturalitate by the Catholic Church?

The alleged apparitions at Medjugorje are not approved by the local bishop.

It is not an approved apparition. That is all you need to know about Medjugorje.

What is Medjugorje? It means “between the mountains.”

>> What is Medjugorje? <<

It’s a place in the mountains of Herzegovina, not too far from the road that runs from Mostar to the Adriatic coast. Many Roman Catholics consider it a sacred spot, due to apparitions seen there by locals.

"The place is St. James Parish in the remote village of Medjugorje, 3 miles south of Mostar, in what was then known as Yugoslavia. On June 24, 1981, two village girls, Ivanka and Mirjana, were walking along the hillside just outside the village when they suddenly saw, high on the hillside, a phenomenon which they recognized as the "Gospa" (The Blessed Virgin Mary). They were soon joined by two others, Vicka and Ivan, and the following day by two more children, Mria and Jocov"....from the introduction to the pamphlet "Our Lady of Medjugorje", published by The Riehle Foundation, P.O. Box 7, Milford Ohio 45150 (513-576-0032).

According to the pamphlet, the authenticity of the phenomenon is still undetermined and the "investigation is on hold". Apparently the local Bishop of Mostar initially endorsed and believed in the apparition, but later withdrew his endorsement. When asked about the issue in 1986, Pope Paul II said "Let the people go to Medjugoje if they convert, pray, confess, do penance, and fast" - whatever that means......
