Ave Maria!

The friars from down under in our Perth, Australian friary just sent this video of their trip to World Youth Day in Sidney (other side of Australia.) Sounds like they and the hundreds of thousands of pilgrims had the experience of a life time. Viva la Papa and God bless Australia!

I might add, this is a fine example of our Australian friar’s new video publishing apostolate and a great step forward in our effort to make AirMaria a worldwide apostolate. Top job mates!

Ave Maria!

Let eternal light shine on them, Lord,
as with Your saints in eternity,
because You are merciful.
Grant them eternal rest, Lord,
and let perpetual light shine on them,

Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine,

cum Sanctus tuis in aeternum,
quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Homily #100501 ( 14min) Play – Today, on the Feast of St Joseph the Worker, Fr. Bonaventure preaches on how St. Joseph is the true model of a worker who centers all his work around his Son, Jesus Christ, the King of Kings. Father contrasts this to the atheistic, Communist “May Day” celebrations, also on this day, which Pius XII counteracted by establishing this feast in 1955.

Mission Down Under #8 – SCENE 2010 in Sydney ( 5 min)

Ave Maria!

This week-long event was organized by SCENE (Sydney Congress Embracing the New Evangelisation) and was designed to keep the fire of the Faith, kindled at WYD 2008, burning brightly in the hearts of the youth.

Events included talks by bishops and visiting priests, seminars and actual street evangelization, Holy Mass, adoration, vocations expo, and entertainment nights. Footage taken at SCENE 2009 can be seen here.

This video shows the location of the vocation expo as well as some footage of St. Mary’s Cathedral and centers around a train ride into the city center one day while a young fellow-participant plays the guitar.

Variety #159 – 2 Million Youth Camping Out ( 09min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

The exact estimates on how many came to Cuatro Vientos were prohibited by the Spanish government, but depending on which media sources, there where between 1.4 Million to 2 Million youth gathered to be with the Pope (an estimated 200,000 people were refused entry when the gates were closed at 5pm Saturday).

Don’t be surprised that the Spanish Government was not very cooperative, just over 70 years ago between July 17, 1936 to April 1, 1939 the government killed 1/3 of the Catholic Priests in Spain.

While we were in Spain we visited Alcala, a town 33 miles east of Madrid. We stopped by a Poor Clare Convent and they told us that one of their nuns was killed during the persecution.

Ave Maria!
