    Thank you for adding to my TBR. Our Lady Book by Fr. Xavier Lasance is a favourite. At the end of each chapter are more suggested book titles regarding Mary. Prayers for oneself and/or the holy souls. The Glories of Mary by Di Liguori where at the end of each chapter is an example of Mary saving a soul is just riveting!

So inspirational and fascinating !Was a very long talk but soo good. He is on KZread telling his story Part 1 and Part 2. He also sells a book telling what happened. If you have never heard his story and you have a lot of time some day I do recommend that you Ladies watch it you will also be moved I am sure. He now lives in Florida.

    Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful books about Blessed Mother, I will look into them. The only one I had heard of was the last one. Here is one that I will add: "Our Lady of Kibeho", by Immaculee Ilibagiza. Immaculee wrote about how she survived the horrible genocide in Rwanda in her riveting first book, "Left To Tell". In "Our Lady of Kibeho", she tells the story of Our Lady's apparitions in the 1980's, to several schoolgirls in Kibeho, Rwanda. It is an amazing story about one of Our Lady's more recent ( church approved) apparitions.

    @@catholicmomanddaughter Yes, the ice should be breaking up & moving this week or next. All the ice on the beach edge has melted. It's usually so exciting as people gather along the banks to watch. Sometimes we see a moose riding down on a sheet of ice because it couldn't make it to the shore in time. The river water rises & completely covers our natural spring water hole so we're not able to get spring water until the water level goes down. Then logging will start as people go on the river to get all the logs floating by. Most people have wood stoves to heat their homes because heating fuel is so expensive since it's barged in.

Not sure if I will get bwmetter a new copy and bless and ditch this one or what. I have bought used books before but this time, yikes. 😅 Has this ever happened to you? What did you do?

    That is such a bummer, Lena, but yes- we have definitely had that happen before. Once we bought a book described as in "very good" condition, but when it arrived, part of the front cover was missing, there was a large hole in the back cover, the book was musty, and there was a sticker on it that said "acceptable". It was so bad that we emailed the online seller (it was a large online book resale site), and we received a refund (this site is has very good costumer service). It is not wrong to expect the book to be in decent condition.

My husband and I went there today, but you really have to see this view from a plane, but the story is facinating. It is called God's Wisdom The Cross The Ten Commandments On Earth. A beautiful story that happened to John P. Harty. It is online the story and a picture of the Giant cross on the ground with the Ten Commandments on it. Jesus, told him to build it and size should be 200 feet long 25 feet wide. etc. Very interesting.
