Walked from Zagreb to Medjugorje for the Youth Festival
On Saturday, July 18, a group of six pilgrims: Nikola Bodružić, Vigor
Grego, Patrik Horvat, Karlo Jandrijević, Matija Ricov and Danijel Stanić
began their journey towards Medjugorje. Their 15 - days long journey
began and they decided to walk 30-35 km each day. They called their
pilgrimage„Labora et ambulans ora" meaning „Work and pray walking",
similar to motto of St. Benedict, as they decided to walk, pray and
praise God on their trip.
„All of this was initiated with an idea more
than a year ago. We decided first to take a trip and then it turned into
a real pilgrimage. We brought in our prayers all of our loved ones, our
parish community and ourselves. We chose Medjugorje since it has a
special place in our hearts, it is a place where the presence of Our
Lady is so strong. We are so excited to be here for the Youth Festival
and to praise God with the youth from all over the world", said Vigor
Grego in his interview for radio „Mir" Međugorje. These six young men
are members of the prayer community„Born anew" from the parish of St.
Stephen in Botinac close to Zagreb.
