After Mass in Krakow's Blonie Park Conclusion of the address Benedict XVI gave today before reciting the midday Regina Caeli. ... May Mary intercede for you and obtain for you all the graces that you need.
New Portuguese Blessed Put Kids First Cardinal Saraiva Martins highlighted the new blessed's Marian devotion, "with her particular predilection for the rosary," which anticipated in a certain way all that would come with the "message of Our Lady to the three little shepherds of Fatima," just four years after the woman religious' death.
Holy Father Appeals for Peace in East Timor Benedict XVI publicly appealed for peace in the Asian nation of East Timor. The Holy Father invited the 35,000 people in St. Peter's Square to "pray to the Blessed Virgin so that she will sustain with her maternal protection the efforts of all those who are contributing to the pacification of spirits and the return to normality." The director and editors of Mary Page under the auspices of the International Marian Research Institute do not necessarily endorse or agree with the events and ideas expressed in this feature. Our sole purpose is to report on items about Mary gleaned from a myriad of papers representing the secular press. Unseen Da Vinci works to go on
show Two previously unseen paintings by Leonardo da Vinci have gone on public display for the first time in Italy. One is an alternative version of Da Vinci's famous painting known as Virgin of the Rocks, with the infant Jesus and the infant John the Baptist. The Virgin of the Rocks, painted with Giampietrino between 1495 and 1497, has two other versions--one kept at the Louvre in Paris, and the other in London's National Gallery. The latest version was found three years ago in a private Swiss collection, along with the semi-naked portrait of Mary Magdalene. Growing Home Again An award-winning inner-city garden in the demanding climate of the Arizona
desert honors the owners' Southwestern heritage. ... Barrio (neighborhood) gardens are traditional in Mexican-American neighborhoods throughout the Southwest. These small walled gardens, which can be traced to city gardens in Spanish Colonial Mexico and small courtyards in Spain, are located behind the house and have limited access; entrance often is only through the home. [N.B. The article includes pictures of the garden with a statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe center stage.] Our Mary Page web site is updated frequently. Please stop in again and see What's New.
