St. Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury and St. Egwin, Bishop of Worchester lived in England during the time when all Christian churches in Great Britian were unified as one body in Christ.
Saint Theodore of Canterbury created a religious governance that prefigured Parliament!
The Virgin Mary appeared to St Egwin in Evesham.
St Egwin then built the Evesham Abbey, the 3rd great monastery of England.
Henry VIII had it destroyed.
The ruins eventually became a stone quarry for villagers from the surrounding English countryside.
And today there remains only an arch of the once vibrant Christian community.
The Evesham Trust is working to revive this forgotten wonder’s rich history.

St Mary Mazzarello had a vision of a big building filled with orphaned girls.
She remembered this vision when St Bosco of the Salesians asked her to create the Daughters of Mary, Help of Christians (aka Salesian Sisters) to take care of abandoned young girls.
It is now a world-wide organization.

Once time while overseas several years ago, I literally stumbled on the “Marian Column” in Old Town Prague. At the time it did not appear in any tour guides, nor promotional materials.
Intrigued, I researched the story of the Marian Column of Prague.
It’s history, long hidden behind the Iron Curtain, in a country that up to this day is considered one of the least religious in the world was brought back to the square in 2020.
The original Marian Column erected in 1850 was destroyed by radicals following WWI.
This new column has been brought back to the square by citizen who wish to thank the Virgin Mary for her love for the people of the Czech Republic

This podcast acknowledges the 106th anniversary of the final Fatima apparition of the Virgin Mary on October 13, 1917.
And then, I take a bit of a departure from apparitions of the Virgin Mary in order to recall an recent experience to recognize the sometime surprising impressions one makes when taking the time to stop at a lemonade stand.

This is the sixteenth 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!
Why did the Madonna come to Medjugorje?
When considering where to go in the world of travel, Medjugorje, a village located in Bosnia and Herzegovina typically does not come to mind.
In this next to the last part taken from The Constant Procession, I explore possible answers.

This is the fifteenth 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!
It’s the early 1980’s and the Madonna apperates at Medjugorje in Yugoslavia, (modern day Bosnia and Herzegovina.)
The Virgin Mary offers words of clarity on how a person can ‘return to God’ and enjoy the ‘fullness of life.’ Meanwhile a Pope and a President find renewed clarity of purpose as they recover from the attempts on their lives.
I am often asked; “What did the Virgin Mary say?” In Chapter 26 we find her actual words as testified to by the six teenage seers.
Starting with the first of her contacts with the young teenagers she told them very specific things that were on her mind. Firstly the apparition identified herself as the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Queen of Peace.
She told the visionaries that she had an urgent message for humanity to return to God.
She said to the seers: “I have come to tell the world that God exists. He is fullness of life, and to enjoy the fullness and obtain peace, you must return to God.”

The location of the Madonna’s first apparitions at Medjugorje in 1981 happened in the region that was experiencing excitement in preparing for the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo.
