Msgr Edmond Farhat, former Apostolic Nuncio of Austria, was in Medjugorje this week for four days with a large group of Austrian pilgrims estimated at 2,000. Last Sunday, Msgr Farhat told the congregation at the English-speaking Mass that his benediction carried with it a special papal indulgence (with the usual conditions attached) for all those able to attend the Masses at which he was the Celebrant while he was in Medjugorje. | Fasting prayer and alms; self-denial, devotion and charity; these are the principal good works at this and every time; but they are more urgent now than usual, if we wish to obtain the special fruit of this holy season.
