You Are Invited - 33 Days to Morning Glory Retreat

 Hi Everybody!

We hope your Lenten season is holy and bearing much spiritual fruit.  

Invitation to Retreat.  The Missionaries of Mary would like to invite you to participate in 33 Days to Morning Glory, a spiritual retreat over six weeks that you may do on your own.  This retreat will finish with consecration to Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  We always have the web link to this method of consecration posted below on our blog page.  However, there is power in praying together, and so we would like to invite you to join in.

Our next Eucharistic miracle comes from Moncada, Spain. "In the Eucharistic miracle of Moncada, Baby Jesus appeared in the Sacred Host to dissipate the doubts of a priest uncertain about the validity of his priestly ordination. At the end of the 14th century, in fact, the French cardinals elected an antipope hoping that he would transfer the Holy See back to Avignon. This event created great confusion among the clergy, to the point that many priests started doubting whether they had been validly ordained. Fr. Odorico Raynaldi described the fact in his Anales Eclesiasticos. It is also narrated in other numerous documents kept in the archives of the city of Moncada."  Please see http://www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/mir/english_pdf/Moncada.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3_lWunKs_EadbdTeLu2mwnCKegJTXhdt8gvSjXKyukWbwOJoZxNMuZJu0
