On Monday, April 20, it is the day of the Servant of God Fr. Ante Gabrić, a Jesuit and missionary in India, when we especially pray for his beatification.

On Thursday, April 23, it is the death anniversary of our dear parishioner Anamarija Carević, so we especially remember her and include her in our prayers. This will be particularly during the evening Holy Mass at 7:00 PM, which we offer also for all benefactors of the renovation of our Basilica, both spiritual and material.

On Friday, April 24, at 7:30 PM, immediately after the evening Holy Mass in our hall–church, there will be a presentation of the new book by Fr. Božidar Nagy entitled: Ivan Merz – Pillar of God’s Church, with three presenters and the presence of the author himself.

On Saturday, April 25, on the feast of St. Mark, there will be a parish family excursion to Sljeme.
We wish especially families with children, as well as other parishioners who wish, to take this opportunity to refresh both physically and spiritually, and to strengthen parish community. More details next Sunday, but this is so it can be planned in advance!
Everyone is welcome!

Young men who wish to discern a spiritual vocation in the Society of Jesus can contact Fr. Mislav Skelin or any Jesuit.
Contact and more information are on the posters.

The entrance to the church/hall through Draškovićeva 54 is closed.
The new entrance and exit is through Palmotićeva 31, so we ask everyone to use it.

It will take place in Požega on May 2 and 3, and registration information can be found on the poster on the green notice board in the hallway.

Religious education takes place according to the following schedule:

In today’s Gospel according to Luke, we heard the story of two disciples who, disappointed after Jesus’ death, leave Jerusalem and on the road to Emmaus talk about everything that happened. Jesus Himself joins them, but they do not recognize Him. Along the way, Jesus explained the Scriptures to them, and they only finally recognized Him in the breaking of the bread. Listening to this Gospel, the question came to my mind: how many times do we walk through our own lives without recognizing God’s presence in them? Sometimes in life we experience disappointments – in relationships, expectations, academic environments, business plans, careers, and so on. Things turn out differently than we imagined, or they end in a way we had not hoped for. In those moments, it seems as if we are alone, absorbed in our own thoughts, within our four walls, and we cannot see a way out. At such times, we tend to look for big signs from God and quick solutions, while we fail to notice His quiet and unobtrusive presence in our daily lives. It is interesting how the disciples only recognized Jesus later in the simple act of breaking the bread. They felt something happening in their hearts while Jesus spoke to them along the way, but they could not immediately understand it. We are all like that sometimes. We do not always recognize Him right away or the way He works; it takes time for it to become clear. I remember in high school religious classes at our parish, at the end of each meeting we would share where we had recognized God in our daily lives that day. Perhaps that is exactly a small but important step that we can still take today. Let us try, each day, to pause and become aware of where we recognize Him and "see" Him!
