Picking A Saint
Saint Faustina did this every year. So did Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, who said, "I want to spend my heaven in doing good on earth"! Picking a saint every year (actually the saint picks you) is part of our Catholic heritage. There is a saint right now in Heaven just waiting to be your special companion/helper for this new year! The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches the saints "constantly care for those whom they have left on earth. When they entered into the joy of their Master, they were 'put in charge of many things.' Their intercession is the most exalted service to God's plan. We can and should ask them to intercede for us and for the whole world," (2683). This video is an example of one way to do it. (A list of saints [pdf] can be found on the menu to the left. Print it out and cut them up. You can do with your family as Denis and Cathy do with grandchildren in this video).

MARY TV wishes to thank those who spread to their email lists that "An Evening of Prayer" in St. Stephens Cathedral would be streamed live at www.marytv.tv on November 17, 2011. On that day MARY TV had two million hits – One million people in 108 countries prayed along with Our Lady, Ivan, Cardinal Schoenborn and all those gathered in St. Stephens Cathedral!
And it has been confirmed that according to Church teaching, those who participated 'piously and devoutly' through our live internet broadcast received all the blessings given in the cathedral – the same as those sitting in the pews! Section 12 of the Enchirdion Indulgentiarum can be taken analogically: Through broadcasts or digital transmissions blessings will be received by those who participate 'piously and devoutly' and this includes also religious items brought with them, in the same way as if they had participated personally.
What joy this must give to Our Lady....her blessings reached so many throughout the world who were participating 'piously and devoutly' in the prayer taking place in the cathedral through the internet!
November 17, 2011 was chosen because that was the only day Ivan could come. "…Because you did not recognize the time of your visitation,"Lk. 19:41-44, was the Church's reading for the Gospel that day.

“In Medjugorje Our Lady is coming in a very powerful way... It is impossible not to see here the Lord our God. Impossible!... In all our churches throughout the world, it should be as it is here in Medjugorje! Bishop Domenico Pecile, Vicar of St John Lateran Basilica, the Pope’s Cathedral in Rome. (Cardinal Camillo Ruini, Chairman of the Vatican Commission on Medjugorje, is the Archpriest of St. John Lateran Basilica.)
