MaryCast Specials #158 ( 11min) Play –  Dr. Mark Miravalle bases this talk on an article called “Who is Mary of Nazareth” that can be read on the front page of a  new web site AmsterdamApparitions.com that is the official site for the apparitions of Our Lady of All Nations. The article mentions how Pope Benedict essentially calls Mary the Mediatrix of Graces without using these exact words. Then Dr. Miravalle reads the May 10, 1953 message of Our Lady of All Nations that asks the Holy Father to proclaim her as ”Coredemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate”. He points out how appropriate this message is to Pope Benedict.

Homily #111106 ( 39min) Play – To understand “I Believe”  one must understand the Church Militant. There are the good and there are the bad and there is a battle. Only Christ knows who are the “Good Catholics” and who the “Bad Catholics”. The problem in the Church today is a lack of understanding in “I Believe”.  When you fall don’t wring your hands, but get up and continue toward your God.

Variety #159 – 2 Million Youth Camping Out ( 09min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

The exact estimates on how many came to Cuatro Vientos were prohibited by the Spanish government, but depending on which media sources, there where between 1.4 Million to 2 Million youth gathered to be with the Pope (an estimated 200,000 people were refused entry when the gates were closed at 5pm Saturday).

Don’t be surprised that the Spanish Government was not very cooperative, just over 70 years ago between July 17, 1936 to April 1, 1939 the government killed 1/3 of the Catholic Priests in Spain.

While we were in Spain we visited Alcala, a town 33 miles east of Madrid. We stopped by a Poor Clare Convent and they told us that one of their nuns was killed during the persecution.
