Rusconi Viaggi – DMC is an European Receptive Operator and destination management specialist, Rusconi works for customized groups all over the European continent and USA, specialising in pilgrimages, and incentives.  Rusconi was the first, 40 years ago,  to have reached, valorised and decided to plan pilgrimages to Medjugorje and they did so as pioneers when, in that remote and unknown place in Bosnia and Herzegovina, paradoxically the only certainty to rely on were precisely the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary. No hotels, few roads, zero comfort. Rusconi believed in it, they humbly started from there and that was the stone on which, step by step, they built their entire company.

Days 3- 6 Medjugorje:

Ø  Daily Breakfast

Ø  Morning Prayer 

Ø  Scripture Reflection

Ø  Morning activities (one per day) that will accompany you in your spiritual journey:

Climb Apparition Hill: This mountainous hill is where the visionaries first encountered Our Lady. At the base of this hill is a Blue Cross, where Our Lady appeared to the children while they hid from the communist police in the early days of the alleged apparitions. While climbing, we will recite the Rosary, pausing five times for each decade of the Rosary. At the top of the hill is the exact location of the first alleged apparition of Our Lady – enjoy private time for prayer in this Holy place.

Climb Mt. Krizevac (Cross Mountain): In 1933, the villagers built a 30-foot high cross atop the mountain to commemorate Jesus’ passion and death on the cross. We will climb this mountain and venerate that very cross. While climbing, we pray the Stations of the Cross to meditate on Jesus’ suffering Road to Calvary, pausing fifteen times for each Station.

Visit the Community of Cenacolo: The Group will visit the community of Cenacolo, founded by the Sisters of Charity, for young men and women who have taken the wrong path and are on the road to recovery. You will be able to listen to their inspirational words about their journeys back to Jesus Christ.

Visit the Marian Community Oasis of Peace: We will visit The Marian Community - Oasis of Peace (CMOP) which is an ecclesial family of consecrated life, to which belong men and women of various states of life (internal consecrated members, including some priests, secular consecrated members and married couples).

Together, they share the same spiritual goal: to intercede for peace and to bring about peace in all places and situations, under the guidance of Mary. She is the maternal womb in whom Christ-Peace (cf. Eph. 2:14) unceasingly takes form. The charism of peace, for every person, thus implies deep prayer, self-giving, welcoming, and openness to others, in imitation of Mary of Nazareth.

After each morning Activity: Free Time. Medjugorje is a small town, everything is within 5-10 minutes walking distance.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament: Our Lady has always called us to be close to her Son. In response to her call, pilgrims will have the opportunity to adore the Blessed Sacrament at the altar outside of St. James Church. Adoration is on Tuesdays and Saturdays; Veneration of the Cross is on Fridays inside the church. Additionally, there is an Adoration Chapel on the grounds of St. James Church, where Adoration is held everyday in the afternoon hours.

Prayer at the Statue of the Risen Christ: The bronze statue of the Risen Christ, is located on the grounds of St. James Church. Many pilgrims sit and pray on the benches surrounding this peaceful statue. This statue miraculously seeps droplets of water at all times of the day out of Christ’s right knee.

Apparitions: Each evening at 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM each one will be free to join the villagers and fellow pilgrims of Medjugorje at either St James Church or Apparition Hill to commemorate the time Our Lady appears to the Visionaries. There you can pray the Rosary, as you await that time at 5:40 PM.

Consecration to Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Day 7: After an early breakfast, we’ll leave by motor coach for Dubrovnik Airport for our return flight home.

Travel has always been a pillar and tenet in my life since I was a small girl. Having been blessed with parents who took very seriously the opportunity to expose me to didactic lessons of life by way of experiencing at a deep level that which is all around us, the gratitude I have for having been shaped into one with a nomadic soul, is never lost on me. For, I was given a gift from the beginning. That said, I have always ventured forth with an open heart and have known these opportunities for my vision to be broadened by the grand vistas around me to be those I am most thankful for. To reiterate: I have never been in poverty of understanding the inheritance I was given of making my travel adventures tailored to allowing magnificent moments to be created. It was all that I aimed for by way of memories made, new friends who may have once been strangers gathered, photos of frozen moments captured, stories acquired…I spent these former journeys in pursuit of future tales I could one day tell. For, even after over a decade of a career in aviation, traversing the globe on my own personal trips for work or play, international jaunts and domestic excursions having taken place within the timeline of my life, it wasn’t until my divine Pilgrimage with Anna and her legacy Captivating Tours where my entire thought process of stepping aboard for a new adventure became redirected. No longer is my pursuit about the experiences I could tally, the epoch-making moments I would have in my back pocket as future riddles to share, nor is even the idea of being open to what lay ahead, paramount … My heart and soul fundamentally shifted after my premiere journey with Anna and Captivating Tours & the fellow pilgrims only she has the gift of assembling ….For, the time spent with Anna reenvisioned all that I now believe travel can be and most importantly IS, as I presently understand the purpose it plays in the delicate balance of my life. At once, after being granted the fortune of a Captivating Tours Pilgrimage, the only desire of my life, heart & soul is: WHO will I become? The immediate answer is simple: someone who is never quite the same after their passport has been stamped…..the second answer is something I look forward to learning should you and I find ourselves seated side by side on my next life-altering journey with Anna and Captivating Tours & Pilgrimages: who will YOU become? (And dare I say this begs an even deeper and more intimate question: who then by the graces and miracles of what you have become, will your family, friends, neighbors and all those you come in contact with have the chance to transform into as well? Thus, the continuation of your own life legacy can begin anew on a Captivating Pilgrimage with beloved Anna!)
