As individuals and families, we are facing the specter of critical illness, cerlain economic hardship, and the massive disruption of our daily lives. The Church is no stranger to adversity, suffering, or privation. in times of difficulty, she has always raised her voice in prayer and earnest supplication, confident that God will hear our every prayer and answer all our pleas. Down through the centuries, the Blessed Mother has played a vitally important role in times of trial, coming to us as a tender Mother, a tireless advocate, steadfast Intercessor, and cherished friend, She has visited her people under the familiar titles of Virgin of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Antipolo, and Our Lady of La Vang. She is beloved in Poland as Our Lady of Czestochowa, in Ireland as Our Lady of Knock, and in Japan as Our Lady of Akita. Mary is revered by the people in Bosnia-Herzegovina as Our Lady of Medugorje, and in Spain, she is treasured as Our Lady of the Pillar.

  • August 16, 2020 Dear Brothers and Sisters
    August 16, 2020 Dear Brothers and Sisters, Over the last many weeks we have been considering whether time and history is moving toward the fulfillment of Christ's promises for the ultimate triumph of His Kingdom. We have reflected on Jesus' prophesies about a time of tribulation, a time of peace, and ultimately His second Coming in glory. The last few weeks we have been considering messages from the Blessed Virgin Mary from some of her recent visits to visionaries. Those that we mentioned have either been recognized as authentic or are close to being declared so. As we celebrate a little known "octave," in the Church calendar this week we continue to consider Mary's messages in her recent apparitions. Yesterday, August 15th we celebrated Mary's Assumption into Heaven. She was taken body and soul to heaven by her Son at the end of her earthly existence and was then crowned as Queen of Heaven and Earth because she, like her Son, was gloriously triumphant over sin during her earthly life. And so, the "octave" of Mary's Assumption in our church calendar is “crowned” on the eighth day after August 15th with the celebration of Mary's Queenship on August 22nd. And so, this week, we will consider another of her appearances and messages to the world in recent years. In Japan, a country with a population which is only 1% - 2% Christian, the Virgin Mary appeared to Sr. Agnes Sasagawa, who lived quietly in a convent in 1973. Many are unfamiliar with this particular visit from the Virgin Mary but it has the approval of the local bishop from that time who investigated the matter for eight years and found that there was no reason to doubt the apparitions or the messages.

  • Appearances of the Blessed Virgin Mary
    Appearances of the Blessed Virgin Mary The Roman Catholic Church has approved the following 15 apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who as our Spiritual Mother, comes to urgently remind us how to reach heaven through the graces bestowed upon us by her son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

The wonderful ensuing spiritual experiences inspired me in those early days to immerse myself once again in my Roman Catholic faith. However, the following testimony is about a very humble servant of God named Emma de Guzman, who, through the presence and grace bestowed by the Blessed Virgin Mary, has had many miracles emanate in her presence.

  • Our Lady of Good Counsel
    Our Lady of Good Counsel According to tradition, in the year 1467, in the midst of the festivities for the Feast of Saint Mark, the townfolk suddenly heard "exquisite music." A mysterious cloud was then said to have descended and obliterated an unfinished wall of the parish church. In front of the populace, the cloud dissipated and a beautiful fresco, no thicker than a carte-de-visite and no more than eighteen inches square, of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child was revealed. It was widely believed that it had been miraculously transported from a church in Scutari, Albania. On November 17, 1682, Pope Innocent XI had the picture solemnly crowned. In 1753, Pope Benedict XIV established the Pious Union of Our Lady of Good Counsel. More than any other pope, Leo XIII, was deeply attached to this devotion. On April 22, 1903, that same Pope included the invocation "Mater boni consilii" in the Litany of Loreto. In 1939, Venerable Pope Pius XII placed his pontificate under the maternal care of Our Lady of Good Counsel and composed a prayer to her. Her feast is celebrated on April 26th. Our Lady of Aparecida Our Lady of Aparecida appeared to 3 fishermen in Brazil (Domingos Garcia, Filipe Pedroso, and João Alves) in October 1717. The fishermen prayed to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception that God would grant a good catch. The fishermen, having a run of bad luck, cast their nets in the River Paraiba and dragged up a headless statue of the Virgin Mary. They also salvaged the head and, according to the legend, then netted plenty of fish.
