Ave Maria!

Here are some video shots of the prayer and meeting day in honor of the “The Lady of All Nations”. These Church approved apparitions of our Lady in Amsterdam, Netherlands are outstanding for right here, right now. They took place from 1945 to 1959 and we are seeing now in 2011 and even before the truth of her words.

Ave Maria!

[Updated] – Pope Francis meets with Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI today, a truly historic event. Benedict’s frailty was quite evident.

This meeting continues many gestures of respect that Pope Francis has made to the retired pontiff  starting with his appearance for the first time on the loggia.  At a meeting with world diplomats yesterday Pope Francis gave prominent attention to the main theme of Benedict’s pontificate, the “tyranny of relativism,” relating it to the very choice of his name:

It is what my much-loved predecessor, Benedict XVI, called the “tyranny of relativism,” which makes everyone his own criterion and endangers the coexistence of peoples.

And that brings me to a second reason for my name. Francis of Assisi tells us we should work to build peace. But there is no true peace without truth!

By uniting his exemplary charity towards the poor (the main reason for choosing the name Francis) with the need for all such charity to be rooted in truth, he clearly is aligning the very core of his pontificate to the both/and theme of charity and truth that Benedict expressed so well in his 2009 encyclical “Caritas in Veritate” (English: Charity in Truth). Here is a good summary.

Homily #150216n ( 04min) Play – In today’s Gospel, the Pharisees come asking for signs and wonders to back up the claim of Jesus, but He, knowing they were motivated by curiosity and not a desire for the truth, refused to work any signs. Do we demand signs from God, or do we recognize that He is present to us in His Church, in the Sacraments, in the circumstances of our lives, and in our very hearts? The sign He gives us is Himself, let us ask for the grace to recognize Him.
Ave Maria!

Prayer and Meeting day in the RAI
in honor of Mary.

On Saturday, June 1, 2019, we will come together in the well-known RAI convention center, for a national Marian prayer and meeting day.

We will celebrate the Holy Eucharist together with Mgr. Dr. J.M. Punt, listen to speakers, honor our Lady and worship Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament.

Special guests this time are Bishop John Keenan from Scotland and Jim Caviezel, the actor who took on the role of Jesus in the film “The Passion of The Christ“ by director Mel Gibson. John Keenan feels connected to our Lady, and Jim Caviezel is an outspoken supporter of the dogma of Mary as Coredemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate.

Make a note of Saturday June 1 2019 in your agenda!

AirMaria will be there hopefully with a live stream.

Ave Maria!
