Bertrand Buby, S.M., Friday, October 16, 2:30 PM on Mary in the Writings of Saint Paul From the Marian Treasure Chest Musical Version of the Ave Maria in Spanish (by Brother John Samaha, S.M.) Click here for a Spanish version of the Ave Maria (Hail Mary) that was widely sung in the California Missions. This music was most likely composed by Franciscan Padre Narciso Duran at Mission San Jose (now Fremont, CA), probably around 1815. Padre Duran, a trained musician, went from mission to mission teaching music to the natives peoples. He may also have influenced mission art and architecture. The musical score was prepared by the late Brother Paul Wessling, S.M., more than fifty years ago, and was published in the Marianist Hymnal which he compiled. The second tenor line is the melody.

Angelus Address in Brno, Czech Republic ... Moravia is blessed with a number of Marian shrines that are visited by crowds of pilgrims throughout the year. At this moment I should like to make a pilgrimage in spirit to the mountainous forest shrine of Hostýn, where you venerate the Blessed Virgin Mary as your protectress. May Mary keep the flame of faith alive in all of you, a faith that is nourished by traditions of popular piety with deep roots in the past, which you rightly take care to maintain, so that the warmth of family conviviality in villages and towns may not be lost. At times one cannot help noticing, with a certain nostalgia, that the pace of modern life tends to diminish some elements of a rich heritage of faith. Yet it is important not to lose sight of the ideal expressed by traditional customs, and above all to maintain the spiritual patrimony inherited from your forebears, to guard it and to make it answer to the needs of the present day. May the Virgin Mary assist you in this, as we renew the entrustment to her of your Church and of the entire Czech nation. Click here for the complete article. The director and editors of The 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.
Virgin Mary 'To Appear' The Virgin Mary will appear this weekend, a psychic claimed yesterday. Joe Coleman, from Dublin, said the apparition at Knock Shrine, Co Mayo, will be the "biggest statement she has ever made on this earth." He added: "She asked the Church to listen to her again and has asked me to call out to the clergy and pray for them to show grace to her children."
