This week's programs: Father Francois Rossier, S.M., Thursday, November 12, 2:30 PM on Mary in the Gospel of Luke From the Marian Treasure Chest Chaminade Pamphlet in French (by Brother John Samaha, S.M.) Several years ago Father Joseph Stefanelli composed an excellent pamphlet about the Founder of the Society of Mary, with the title Chaminade, Pragmatist With a Vision. Father Antonio Solda added good photographs and printed it in Italy. It has been widely distributed and used. Copies may be obtained from Brother Robert Resing at the Provincial Administration in St. Louis. This would be interesting for reading in classes of students studying the English language. Father Robert Witwicki translated this booklet into French as Chaminde, Visionaire et Realiste. The French edition was also printed in Italy in color with attractive photos. This booklet will be very useful for the coming Chaminade Year in 2011 to honor the 250th anniversary of the birth of Blessed William Joseph Chaminade. Both students and adults will find it interesting and inspiring. Copies of this French edition are available from Brother Jean-Paul Ounsa at the Provincial Administration in Paris. Let us use this publication to promote interest in our Founder and his cause for canonization, especially during the Chaminade Year.

Pope Recalls Paul VI's Marian Devotion Pope Paul VI's priesthood was under the protection of Mary and devotion to her accompanied him for his whole life, says Benedict XVI. The Pope spoke of his predecessor today before praying the midday Angelus with crowds who attended a Mass the Holy Father celebrated in Brescia, where Giovanni Montini was born. Benedict XVI made a one-day trip to Paul VI's birthplace today. With a brief discourse, the German Pontiff highlighted a particular contribution Paul VI made to Marian devotion. "His November. 21, 1964, address at the closing of the third session of the Second Vatican Council is memorable," the Pope said. During that session of the council the Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium, was promulgated. The document had, as Paul VI noted, 'an entire chapter dedicated to the Madonna as its apex and crown.' ... Click here for the complete article.
