Pope Francis grants his approval for devotion linked to Medjugorje, recognizing the abundant spiritual fruits received at the Sanctuary of the Queen of Peace. The former parish priest of Medjugorje, Father Marinko Sakota, expressed his great joy at the Vatican’s recognition of Medjugorje. He said he was so happy that I can hardly put it into words.
Pope Francis approved the Note on August 28th, 2024. It recognizes the goodness of the spiritual fruits linked to Medjugorje, authorizing the faithful to adhere to it since many positive fruits have been noted in the midst of a spiritual experience.
The places linked to the Medjugorje phenomenon have become pilgrimage destinations for people from around the world. The positive fruits are most evident in the promotion of a healthy practice of a life of faith, in accordance with the tradition of the Church.
