Excerpts from Archbishop Henryk Hoser’s Homily

Excerpts from Pope Francis’ Special Envoy to Medjugorje, Archbishop Henryk Hoser’s, homily in Medjugorje: Speaking of Our Lady, he said:

“…We call Her, especially here, the Queen of Peace…therefore that call that is so intense here, is so important for the whole world! We pray for peace…Spread throughout the world, peace, through the conversion of hearts. The greatest miracle of Medjugorje are the Confessions here. The Sacrament of Reconciliation and Mercy, forgiveness…And I want to thank all the priests who come here to hear Confessions of the faithful. I have seen today over 60 priests available for Confession, serving the people of God. I have spent many years in Western Countries, France, Belgium…and I would say that Confession, individual Confession, practically has disappeared in the Western World with the exception of here and there. Therefore, the heart of man is closed. The world is becoming dry. Evil is strengthening. Conflicts are multiplied. Therefore, let us all be apostles of the Good News, Conversion and Peace in the world.”
