The Commander of the Pilgrimage was Major General Mladen Fuzul.<br \/>The solemn mass in the open-air church &#8220;Bla\u017eeni Alojzije Stepinac&#8221; (The Blessed Cardinal Alojzije Stepinac) open-air church was celebrated by the Archbishop of Zadar, Mons\u00a0 \u017delimir Pulji\u0107,\u00a0 who\u00a0 in his homily on the occassion of the 25th anniversary of the Pilgrimage recounted the history and importance of the Marian shrines in Croatia. The Homeland War was a Calvary for Croatia, which did not surrender or lose faith but combated the evil, hatred and destruction. Everyone wanted to give his personal contribution to the peace, togetherness and the end of the war.<br \/>&#8220;We are today praying for peace, togetherness and expressing gratitude for the freedom we live in. Our thoughts are with all the Croatian defenders and fellow combatants\u00a0 who have built their lives into our freedom. The Croatian soldiers, policemen and all defenders had recourse to the rosary and Cross from the earliest days of the Homeland War, which they helped us immensely to defend and to eventually liberate Croatia. <br \/>I am glad that we are demonstrating unity and synergy of all components of the Croatian security system as well as of the entire Croatian people. I am also pleased to host the Polish National Defence Minister and the Defence Minister of Bosnia and Herzegovina, confirming the friendly relations and shared values\u201c, said\u00a0 Minister Krsti\u010devi\u0107. <br \/>The Pilgrimage concluded with praying the Way of the Cross in the Calvary of the Shrine, and the Polish National Defence Minister\u00a0 Antoni Macierewicz laid wreath at the monument dedicated to Saint Pope John Paul II.<\/p>\n[nggallery id=2597]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The jubilary 25th anniversary of the Pilgrimage of the Croatian Armed Forces, police forces and\u00a0 Croatian defenders took place in the Marian Shrine at Marija Bistrica on 1 October 2017, organised by the Military Ordinariate and the Ministry of the Homeland War Veterans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4698,"featured_media":35746,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[117],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13178","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-releases"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
