Happy Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes! We continue our virtual Marian pilgrimage through France with Fr. Joseph Roesch, MIC. Father Joseph shares how Mary always leads us to Jesus whenever she has an apparition.
With Father Joe Roesch, MIC. Father Stanislaus Papczynski (1607-1701) was an esteemed theologian, philosopher, and preacher.
How is Mary is an integral part of God's plan of Salvation. Can we actually call her the "Mother of God" and why is this January 1 Solemnity of the Mother of God a Holy Day of Obligation?
God was preparing Lucia before the visions took place. Father Joe notes that Lucia's mother urged her to ask God to make her a saint, and Lucia made a self-offering.
