A letter from Michael & Lisa Brown:
Friends in Christ,
Just a note to let you know we'll be going to Medjugorje May 29-June 6 and invite you to join us. It will be a smaller, more intimate group, with an absolutely top-notch and spiritual tour agency (206 Tours), and we are going to do not just the other things all pilgrims do (although we will do all of those, including attendance at an apparition), but also special prayers, as we offer a different sort of pilgrimage -- the standard sights and sounds (climbing the holy mountain, listening to seers, touring the major points in the village, with the best professional guide) but with an added dimension:
Praying together as a group up Apparition Hill for discernment of future events and response; deeply; praying together at the top of Mount Krizevac for enlightenment; praying outside the church for a special blessing from the heart; gathering as a group before the special statue at the right of the altar after discussing it and its power; gathering near the rectory window where early apparitions took place, etcetera -- some different features that won't take time out of the important normal aspects but will make it more spiritual and unique and special and personal. Family healing.
The afterlife.
Michael Brown will speak several times on related issues. We also will have late-night trip to the exuding Corpus of Christ behind Saint James Church -- private time at a special hour.
For further information please call 1-800-206-8687 or e-mail milanka@206tours.com
We look forward to this immensely!!
God bless and please come,
Michael and Lisa Brown

About Medjugorje: On June 25, 1981, in the mountain village of Medjugorje in Herzegovina, Our Lady appeared to six children. She identified herself as the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Peace, and continues to appear to several of the visionaries. Her mission is to promote peace with God and mankind, through her Son, Jesus. Mary's own words to the children explained, "I have come to tell the world that God exists." 206 Tours has been arranging pilgrimages to Medjugorje since 1985. We have assisted over 250,000 people many claiming to be at such peace and to have experienced spirituality like they have never felt before. For those who have never been, if you hear the "calling" - please call us.

Days 3 to 8 - Medjugorje
Experience the beauty and peace of this simple village. During your stay in Medjugorje you will have the opportunity to share faith with pilgrims from all over the world. Our local guide will accompany us throughout your stay.
Here are some of the activities you'll be sharing with our fellow pilgrims: Each morning at 10am we assemble at St. James Church for the English-language Mass (Feast days and Sundays English Mass is at Noon). Follow the path up Apparition Hill where the visionaries first encountered Our Lady. Touch and pray before the cross that commemorates the spot where Mary first appeared to the visionaries.
Each evening at 5pm or 6pm daylight savings time, we will join the villagers and pilgrims to pray the rosary. The apparition takes place at 5:40pm or 6:40 daylight savings time, and then stay on for Croatian Mass. Don't miss on Tuesdays and Saturdays Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and on Fridays Veneration of the Cross in the Church. Each evening during Croatian Mass, there is the Blessing of the Sick and blessing of the items you have with you.
Our guide will arrange meetings with the visionaries at their own homes provided that they are in Medjugorje during your trip, and pending their availability. We will have the opportunity to climb Krizevac Mountain, where in 1933 the villagers built a 30' high cross on the anniversary of Jesus' crucifixion. Visit and pray at "Blue Cross", which is a place of great healings and graces- a very special place at the base of Apparition Hill. We will also visit the community of Cenacolo.
