Thousands of high school students and Marian devotees attended the Walk for Jesus and Mary that opened the celebration of October as the month of the Holy Rosary Saturday, at the Lamberto Macias Sports Complex in Dumaguete City.
The celebration was highlighted by the visit of Mary’ Meal Ambassador Milona Von Habsburg-De Ramburez from Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzegovina, who has been serving in Medjugorje as interpreter of the visionaries during the apparitions of the Our Lady of Medjugorje.
The ambassador who wants to be called Milona said she is elated with the support and devotion of young people to Mother Mary. She said the world is in need of young people who religiously and sincerely pray the Holy Rosary since the competition for the secular world is very strong.
Milona has been serving in Medjugorje for 27 years and also receiving the message of the Holy Mother. She added that the Mary’s Meal program, through the effort of the Medjugorje Peace Center of Virginia Villahermosa, is a gift for the hungry children in Dumaguete City.
She also shared the message of Our Lady during the 8:15 a.m. Sunday mass at the Dumaguete Cathedral Church where she emphasized that Mother Mary is asking everyone to pray the rosary daily for the conversion of sinners and healing of the world.
She also said that Our Lady is encouraging Roman Catholic believers not to criticize the priests and those serving the Lord.
It is better to offer prayer and fasting out of love for the priest because only God can judge them, she said.
The visit of the Mary’s Meal Ambassador was through the invitation of the Villahermosa from the Medjugorje Peace Center who celebrated the 10th anniversary of the television program at Fil Products Service television.
Bishop John Du of the Diocese of Dumaguete thanked Milona and the Medujogorje Peace Center for inspiring the people through the messages of Mother Mary. He said it is challenged to sustain a religious program and it is a blessing to keep the spirit of service and evangelization.*MA
