Let us rejoice that our neighbors to the north will reconsecrate their country to Our Lady of the Cape in July on the 70th anniversary of the 1947 consecration at the historic Marian Congress. Read about it here.

Our Blessed Mother Comes to Visit
Suppose you knew that the Blessed Mother was visiting your home today. Wouldn't you get ready to welcome her? Wouldn't you invite everyone you knew to come and meet her and offer her homage?Well, Mary came to our little parish in Woodstock today in her image of the Pilgrim Virgin of Fatima. It was a day of blessing for our parish family with visitation from 12:00 noon until about 8:00 p.m. There was Eucharistic adoration, confession, rosary and other prayers and a healing Mass this evening. To see the devotion of the parish was inspiring. We prayed and sang together making our little church a preview of the heavenly court.
The statue itself is beautiful, very lifelike, especially her eyes. They seemed to be glistening with tears. How the Blessed Mother grieves over the sins of her children who are preparing themselves places in hell. She calls us back again and again. I'm sure the reason our world hasn't been destroyed is through her motherly intercession. "Please, Son, give them more time."

2017: A Good Year to be in Poland and Portugal
 |
| The "Black Madonna" |
The "Black Madonna" was first crowned on her birthday, September 8th, in 1717. What a testament to Poland that they continue to embrace the great Mother of God not only in their churches, but in their public life!
2017 embraces these important anniversaries. What a great year for Catholics and others wise enough to honor Jesus' Mother. Have you made the Five First Saturdays? This is the perfect year to do it! God is never outdone in generosity. If you honor His Mother He will reward you with many graces. Guaranteed!

Yesterday was the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary: Love & Honor the Queen of Heaven
Did you talk to her at all yesterday on her feast? Not to worry, speak to her now.
Mary is not only the Mother of our Savior, but our mother as well. If Jesus is our brother, Mary must be our mother. I don't understand non-Catholic Christians dissing Mary. (For Catholics to do it is utterly shameful!) Jesus is the Word. He speaks the commandment, "Honor your father and your mother so you will have a long life on the land." Is it reasonable to think Jesus ignored His own commandment? Would He dishonor His own mother or wish her to be overlooked and forgotten? That thought is incomprehensible!
Catholics honor Mary because she is Christ's mother, and He gave her to us when He told John the apostle, "Son, behold your mother."
She is the ark of the covenant who carried the Word made flesh in her body. If non-Catholic Christians love the Word, isn't it natural to love the vessel that carried that word? Aren't the covers of bibles often made of leather and beautifully embossed in gold even though they aren't the word of scripture, but simply enclose it?
Honoring Mary is the most natural thing in the world. To ignore her or actively dishonor her is an inexcusable neglect that cannot possibly be desired by her Son.
Let us pray today that all Catholics will grow in their love for our mother Mary. And let us pray that our Protestant brothers and sisters will come to see how precious she is in the sight of her Son, and how much He desires her to be honored and respected.
In His humility, Jesus came into the earthly world through a woman. Doesn't it make perfect sense that He calls us to come into the heavenly world through the same narrow gate of His mother, the gate through which He Himself passed? Little children play the game, follow the leader. If we follow our leader, the Good Shepherd, we will seek Him always through His mother.
All for Jesus through Mary! Amen.
