OFM Lovre’s Young Sunday


A vow Holy Mass on the occasion of the celebration of OFM Lovre’s Young Sunday, was celebrated on August 29th in the parish Turić, in Bosanska Posavina.

It was led by the Archbishop coadjutor of Vrhbosna, Msgr. Tomo Vukšić with the concelebration of about 10 priests, among whom were the parish priest Ilija Matanović and the vice-postulator of OFM Lovre's cause, OFM Marijan Karaula.

In the sermon, Msgr. Vukšić connected the martyrdom of St. John the Baptist, whose memorial was celebrated that day, with the martyrdom of OFM Lovre. “One can always die for the truth, but the innocent sacrifice in God’s eyes never loses its shine and always shines as an example to follow. Let us be the guardians of truth and justice, and we sincerely pray for the intercession of our holy martyrs”, said the Archbishop Coadjutor.

At the end of the Holy Mass, Msgr. Vukšić blessed the rosaries, a gift from the parishioners of the parish of Zvornik-Srebrenica, and a prayer for the beatification of OFM Lovro was prayed together, as well as a prayer for health and personal intentions.
