This is the 6th audio installment of my book The Constant Procession. My first book is a religious memoir about how some of the approved apparitions of the Virgin Mary have influenced history!

This installment is about the year 1531. Mexico is a country in distress following the brutal conquests of Hernando Cortes.

Saint Juan Diego when on route to Mexico City finds himself facing a series of requests by apparitions of the Virgin Mary.

She helps bring peace to the country and her mission of love at Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City continues today.

408- Interview about cycling the “M de Marie”

This podcast offers a unique interview about what it is like riding the “M de Marie.”

While closing the books on podcasts produced here at the On-Line Publications studios for the recent 1-day “Way of the M” pilgrimage coverage, I uncovered a great interview from the 2019 “Le Grand AIME de Marie” (The Great Love of Mary) pilgrimage.

I interviewed Mathieu Courage, team leader and one of the bicyclists who was a “pilgrim-cyclist” in 2019, the year before “covid” came along.

“The Way of the M” will be a one-day walking pilgrimage on May 26, Mother’s Day across France.

La Salette- One of the apparition locations where the Virgin Mary appeared on the “Way of the M.”

A 14th century monk, Gregory Palamas observed about the Madonna that “While on earth, she harkened and obeyed heavenly things rather than things earthly.”

Also, in the words of an Orthodox Archbishop John Maximovitch who lived from 1896-1966: “The end of the earthly life of the Virgin Mary was the beginning of her greatness.”

404- May 5th- A Different Easter Day

Christ Has Risen!

This year, the Eastern Orthodox Church’s Easter religious holiday was celebrated five weeks later than most other Christian Church’s.

The reason is due to the fact that our church works off a different calendar than most other Christian denominations.

And this year on our calendar, May 5th was Easter Day, or “Pascha”- the New Passover.

A calendar from October 1582 removing 11 days from the 5th to the 14th
October 1582 calendar, when they removed days from the calendar.

401- The Way of the M- Pellevoisin

This episode includes a destination site where an apparition the Virgin Mary took place in 1876 called ‘Our Lady of Pellevoisin’

Pellevoisin is just one of the places along the 1,200-mile “M” pathway through France known as “The M de Marie” (The M of Mary.)

This year the pilgrimage is also known as “The Way of the M.”

The “M de Marie” is a pilgrimage trail that people from all walks of life will be processing across on Sunday, May 26.

Nice M de Marie graphic map for the 2020 Procession of Mary in France

May 26 is the official day that France celebrates Mother’s Day.

This unique pathway traces the letter ‘M’ (for Mary) across France.

This course was created in part, to honor the Virgin Mary and in celebration of some of the major apparition sites where she has visited humanity over the centuries since she passed on from the world.

 Also in this installment, I will read an excerpt from my book, “The Very Fine Light.”
