NON-CATHOLIC CROWNS MARY

ABOVE: Brian, Fr. Angelo, and Sue

AirMaria is on the road in New Jersey. As we were heading southbound on the Garden State Parkway, two cars ahead of us collided, causing one car to go airborne before our eyes. One women crawled about 12ft away from her car and was in great pain. She had a rosary around her neck and one hanging in her car. Fr. Angelo gave her absolution.

FRIARY IN NEWARK

(L to R) Friar Augustine FI, Fr. Angelo FI, Fr. Glen CFR, Friar Roderic FI

Fr. Glen as always, told us to make ourselves at home so we cooked up some left-overs (rice and ham).

NEW GROTTO

A new grotto that Fr. Angelo will be blessing. Brian and Sue Mackewich (owners of grotto) have been good friends of ours for nearly 20yrs and have taught us much about media.

Ave Maria!

If you are using an iPad or iPhone you can now view videos directly on AirMaria without having to go to YouTube. Apple does not allow the Flash Player (which up till now was universally accepted) on their iOS devices like iPad so it requires some extra effort to get a site to play video on them (although all Android devices like Samsung and Droid can play Flash). Since iPad and iPhone are taking up more and more of the viewing share and even Adobe, who makes Flash, is abandoning it, we decided to make the effort to accommodate Apple mobile users. Currently about 75% of the our videos are viewable on iPad and the rest (generally our oldest ones) will be available soon.

So if you are on an iPad or iPhone just click on the view button normally and then look for the iPad button that you see to the right and click on it. On the other hand if you see the “No iPad” button that you see to the left then you are out of luck. Although, you will probably find it on YouTube.

Today is our Fifth Year Anniversary here at AirMaria since our official start on the Feast of the Annunciation in 2007.

We look forward to many more years of spreading Franciscan, Marian, Catholic  teaching and devotion. We will be giving an update of AirMaria events and future plans after Easter.

Thank you for all the help to make it all possible.

Deo Gratias!!

Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her, may she rest in peace. Amen.

Russia has spread her errors, but she does make a nice bike. Some friars from Griswold messing around on their neighbors Russian built bike. The airmaria cameraman might try shooting from the sidecar this spring. This would have made shooting the “Pro Bikers Pro Life” bikers easier.

The Franciscans of the Immaculate, inspired by the example of St. Maximilian Mary Kolbe, are seeking to conquer the world for the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus through the maternal mediation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The primary role of the contemplative branch is to sustain the Church, and more specifically the missions of the Franciscans of the Immaculate, by their hidden life of prayer and penance. Each Friary of the contemplative friars is called a Ritiro Mariano, which in Italian has the sense of a “Marian Hermitage” where the contemplatives retreat and pray. Recently the contemplative friars have undertaken the sacred and prayerful work of restoring altars. Your donations will aid the contemplative friars and their restoration work for the glory of God and the salvation of souls.  – http://www.novenamasses.org/
