I am leaving today for Rome and hope to ascend the Holy Stairs tomorrow, taking with me all prayers and petitions of our MOG family.
I can't I admit take the whole credit for this, Fr Rippenger is wonderful! I found this video very good. Where does one man get so much knowledge..he is amazing!!
That is wonderful, Denise! How long will you be in Rome? Imagine! Four knees from MOG on the Holy Stairs in one week! Safe in the Flames of the Sacred Heart!
What a Godincidence! I watched a whole series of videos on the Steps just yesterday. Next time I am in Rome this is top of my to do list! Please say more than one for me How on Earth have I missed these?
Well, I am a flight attendant so I go to Europe a good bit. I haven’t been to Rome since last December when for some inexplicable reason I was drawn to the St. John Lateran area and went to the Sancta Scala. I had the place all to myself as the main attraction was cordoned off for renovation. When I read that the stairs would be laid bare to climb for a short time I knew I must return to take advantage of such an experience. Even though I had not bid to fly to Rome in April I was assigned a trip there on the last day of the month. So, that’s where I’m heading on my layover. I can’t tell you how many “God-Winks” I have experienced in my travels— one of my favorites was asking Dolours for info about the best way to get to Knock, and she insisted on taking me there herself. It was so wonderful to meet her and to experience Knock with her!
I too wonder that about him. He’s like a walking textbook. He delivers his talks in a deliberate, matter of fact style and so authoritatively...you have so much confidence in his knowledge. Never a dull or boring word. His rapid recall of facts is amazing. This priest is good!
It is going to be even more painful to climb the stairs on your knees now without the protective wood, which at least somewhat levelled out the deep grooves in the marble. God Bless you both for taking our prayers and petitions with you on your climb.
