“People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering.” (St. Augustine) The famous U2 song plays in the background of most of our lives, “But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.” We search in everything, we travel all over the world, yet that void is still lingering in our lives, what is it? What is missing in our lives? We can read every book, travel the world, learn many languages, taste everything the world has to offer, but end up still aching for something no where to be found. In this world today, the solution to our emptiness has been hidden from us. It is mocked, looked down upon, laughed at. Yet something still brings people from all over the world to pilgrimage sites. Is it desperation, is it loneliness, emptiness, what is it? In Medjugorje, people come from all over the world from different cultures with different languages, different social standings, and even different currencies. Yet it is one place where we find a common ground, Mary our Universal Mother has been appearing here since 1981 to six visionaries, with thousands of documented miracles, Medjugorje is not only an “Adventure of a Lifetime,” it is the ultimate odyssey! The quest towards heaven, the only true adventure! IHS was founded to promote the message of peace and unity; the true Love Our Lady of Medjugore talks about in Her messages. “If you only knew how much I love you, you would cry with joy.” What are we all searching for in this sometimes seemingly hopeless world? Pope John Paul II called Medjugorje “the spiritual center of the world.” Medjugorje is a place where people from every nation are for a time, ONE family. The word Catholic means “universal,” we are united as ONE family with ONE Mother. We are all God’s children and we need to come together to fight Love’s adversary! We need to forgive, we need to teach others to forgive, we need to forgive ourselves, and to do that we need God’s Love! JOIN THE FIGHT! THE FIGHT FOR CHRIST!
