We celebrate the Second Sunday of Lent.

We announce our parish adoration, which is scheduled for Tuesday, March 10, in the morning from 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM and in the afternoon from 12:30 PM to 6:30 PM. All members of various communities, associations, foundations, religious education groups, spiritual exercise groups, and similar, are asked to coordinate with their representatives regarding a joint arrival, while individual faithful are invited to sign up in the sacristy for their time of prayer and vigil, so that we can ensure presence in all time slots.

This is the Week of Solidarity and unity with the Church and the people in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Your contribution is a sign of love for the faithful and help for those most in need. You may leave it in the designated donation box.

On Friday, March 6, after the evening Holy Mass, at around 8:00 PM, we will have a meeting for the parents of this year’s First Communion candidates, here in the hall – church. You are welcome.

March 6 is the First Friday of March with the usual schedule of Holy Masses and confessions, devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, among which we highlight the all-night adoration from Thursday to Friday organized by SKAC.

Next Thursday, March 5, on the eve of First Friday, there will be all-night adoration in our parish organized by the youth from SKAC Palma
The adoration begins after the youth Mass at 10:00 PM and ends with the first morning Holy Mass on Friday, at 7:00 AM.

The first hour of adoration will be led by the choir Vis maior. Everyone is welcome to take a watch during the night and spend an hour in prayer and vigil.

March 7 is the First Saturday of March with devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary and prayers for new priestly and religious vocations.

We ask the faithful who are willing to get involved and help in the parish Caritas to contact the sacristy or parish office. If you have strength, a little free time, and goodwill, God wants to share His mercy through you!

On Saturday, March 28, the day before Palm Sunday, the youth from SKAC are going to Modrave to prune branches for Palm Sunday. Through this, branches will be collected for Palm Sunday for our parish, as well as for the parishes in Jordanovac and Sljeme. The youth will travel to Modrave by organized bus on Saturday, March 28 at around 4:00 AM, and return the same day by 9:00 PM. Registration opens next week, and all young people aged 18 to 30 are welcome.

The Academic Choir Palma will hold auditions for new choir members from February 24 to March 6. Apply as a future singer in the Basilica!

On Sunday, March 22, on the anniversary of the earthquake, a commemorative event will be organized by our Academic Choir Palma in the restored and adapted Basilica. Free admission.

A ceremonial and charity concert marking six years since the earthquake, "A Heart in the Heart of Zagreb," will take place at Lisinski on March 31 starting at 8:00 PM. Mozart’s Requiem will be performed by the HRT Symphony Orchestra and the HRT Choir, conducted by Robert Homen.

Religious education takes place according to the following schedule:

What a wonderful and blessed moment the disciples experienced in today’s Gospel! A moment of transfiguration, an image of Jesus they had never seen before. It was so beautiful for them to be in His presence, far from fears, far from worries and unrest. A moment that left a special mark and a special feeling within them.

I try to remember when I personally experienced such a moment, when I felt such fulfillment and well-being like the disciples. It is difficult for me to find the answer. But I also ask myself, when was the last time I listened to Jesus when He told me, “Rise, do not be afraid!” I know He tells me this every day, calling me to fight and to move forward courageously. But do I listen to Him? Or do I simply let those words come and go? If I want to experience the light, I must allow Him to touch me, to reach me. For how will I reach the mountain if I do not begin to climb?

Perhaps Lent is precisely a good opportunity to push a little harder, to climb one step higher. And who knows what awaits us at the top.
