The retreat of the Apostolate of Jesus and Mary, "Cenacle with the Queen of Peace", gathered about 140 people in the Licheń sanctuary. The initiative is related to the 40th anniversary of Our Lady's first apparitions in Medjugorje and is an expression of gratitude for all the favors received through her in this place.
Holy Masses and adoration were held during the meeting. They prayed together, among others rosary, chaplet of Divine Mercy or Chaplet of Peace. Participants had the opportunity to listen to the conference - six priests from different spirituality were invited: Carmelites, the Franciscan from Niepokalanów, Montfortan (from the Congregation of the Missionary Fathers founded by St. Louis Maria Grignion de Montfort), a Cistercian and a diocesan priest who founded the so-called "Polish Medjugorje". The topics of the conference were: confession, fasting, rosary, Holy Bible and the Eucharist.
“We are the Apostolate of the Queen of Peace. We want to spread peace and form ourselves in this Medjugorje spirit, ”explains Mr. Szymon Grzechulski, the founder of the Apostolate, established 6 years ago in Poznań. Every day, the man organizes pilgrimages to Medjugorje, thanks to which a wider group of people learn about the Apostolate. The service in social media has also experienced a significant boost in recent months. Thanks to this, people from different parts of Poland could meet at the retreat in Licheń.
