What Does The Prayer Really Say?»Blog Archive » Archbp. Burke describes why he built the Shrine to Our Lady.

Fr. Zuhlsdorf blogs from La Crosse, Wisconsin as he attends the Canon Law Conference and captures on video a talk by Archbishop Raymond Burke about the National Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe from which the conference was held. This is most appropriate because he was instrumental in starting and completing this glorious shrine and he mentions that the body of Fr. John Hardon a good friend of the bishop (who’s cause for beatification is in progress) may soon be transferred to the shrine.

You can see our own more visually orientated video on the shrine (which our friars staff)  here and here.

But Archbishop Burke is also here for the Marian Symposium which will be two weeks from today. You can read about here with its great line up of speakers.

Ave Maria!
