LET'S GO -- ANDIAMO -- VAMOS -- PUNT NA TAYO -- ALLONS --DALZE

See that circle down there?  Yep, that's the place.  Some of us are finally going to squeeze into airplane seats and get on our way.  But before we do, we continue to pray.  The Faithful of St. Christopher Parish in Moreno Valley, California have been writing their prayers and their petitions for Our Blessed Mother for Isabel to carry to the Mountain.  There, she will be careful to find a revered place for them, at least for the time of the meeting.
It may be a day or two before we can get back to you electronically, but rest assured that we will not forget you. At  the same time, we request that you keep us in your prayers and blessings.



Update about Father Maurice Cardinal.  I just got off the phone with the nurse's station at the Loma Linda University Hospital where father's surgery was accomplished.  It has been 18 hours since Father reported for the procedure.  He is reportedly still heavily sedated, sleeping and is trouble free as far as vital signs are concerned.  Good heart rhythm, good blood pressure, good temperature and, for the moment, quiet and docile.  :-)  Those who know him know what I mean.

Allow me to suggest that you spend a moment praying the poetic song composed by Bishop Newman many years ago.  I wonder if it has ever been translated.

O Mary, Queen of La Salette

Oct 24, '09 5:06 AM for everyone

1. O Mary of Queen of La Salette, why are you weeping so

that I had never sinned and made your tears to flow.

Refrain:

I long to dry your tears

and make your message known

of penance, prayer and zeal

until God calls me home.

2. O tearful Virgin of the Alps, draw close my heart to you

that near to God forever more

I may your beauty see. (Refrain)
