Marian Apparitions
When I first thought of May, I knew we had to do a podcast on Mary and her apparitions. Personally, my own devotion has only been through Our Lady of Perpetual Help as my family is consecrated to her. My grandparents started it and my own dad practiced it faithfully. So, I wrote to Jeannie because she’d done this very extensive list of Marian Apparitions. It’s the most comprehensive list I’ve ever seen. Jeannie agreed to do this podcast despite a hectic weekend with her daughter’s first Holy Communion. And I got a chance to speak to her too and she’s a real cutie pie. It’s great to hear the next generation of Christians. Anyway, on to Marian Apparitions.

What Next?
I asked Jeannie what next and she had the same answer Anita Wright gave in a previous podcast. Ask God what he wants you to do for Him and then go do it. Read more about the Marian Apparitions. They make for very interesting reading especially if you’re faith is shaken. The childlike faith of the people that Mary appeared to, will surely strengthen you.
